    If you're putting it on the bottom it's even more important to put the heat pad on a thermostat to prevent the frog from overheating whilst trying to burrow. The thermostat probe should be underneath the substrate on the glass to make sure it doesn't get too hot

    That's nice little pacman you got there. A little advice about the misting, you can mist with distilled or R/O water but its only good for misting. Lots of people will use it because it doesn't leave spots all over the glass because its so pure. Just don't put it in the bowl or mix the substrate with it. And if the little guy gets hit with a few drops he will be ok, its when they are in it for long periods of time where it can become not good for them.

    Thank you, when I made the coco coir I used tap water without water conditioner. I was in a hurry and forgot. But the coir was left to air for a day before Kermit came in. Then I read up and I now mist only with water treated with water conditioner and the water bowl only gets filled with that. The spots I can clean off with a little sponge once in a while, I'm used to them.

    Well... it's common here we have hard water. In December I am planning on buying a permanent enclosure, I'm not sure if I would like the big exo terra or a "normal" brandless one. This tank is borrowed from a friend, and I know a bit how it works, I have had exo terra's before so it's like an old friend coming back lol.
    When I have the new tank, I might become more obsessed with the spots so, it might be something to consider lol.

    Here are some more pics I took today, I rinsed the backdrop under the shower and after some cutting and wigling it sits in place.
    I chose for a custom one, because they are less thick then the exo terra ones, and that saves a little space for my froggy.

    Enjoy

    Nice setup, if you don't mind me asking did you order that coconut hut from somewhere? And if yes where? I have looked in every pet store where I live and cant find one, I wanted to get a couple for my fire belly toads.
