Question about humidity and temps

[monster]

Hi, if your day temp is still 75 I would really try to get it back up to about that 80f mark. Him sitting in the water bowl can be for other reasons then him just being warm. If the substrate is to dry and he cant absorb enough moisture through his skin to hydrate himself he would sit in the bowl to do this, not saying this is the problem its just an example. Also letting it drop that low at night isn't good either. They need the heat to digest there food and being in temps like this for to long can also lead to serious illnesses. And the illness could happen over time so you may think hes doing good and then all of a sudden he isn't. Being exposed to low temps for to long can damage the kidneys and lymph nodes causing edema. When I got my first pacman ever this is the condition she was being kept in but at the time of purchase she seemed ok. Everything was fine for the first couple months and then she took a turn for the worse. When I brought her to the vet she was diagnosed with edema, I asked if it could have been there the whole time and she said yes, and with it being my first frog I just didnt notice the signs till it was out of control and to late. Even after a month of antibiotics she passed away shortly after. Edema isn't curable, its one of those things that you can make better for awhile to give your frog abit longer of a life but will flare up again and eventually your frog cant take it anymore. I know fighting with the humidity is a pain but the temps are very important. Also if there isn't enough humidity that can be another reason hes sitting in the bowl. I would put a 40 watt red bulb in that hood and hook it to a dimmer or thermostat so you can adjust it for night temps and get a dome to place on top with a bulb for light that doesn't produce heat that you can just turn off at night. If you already have the temps back up around 80 mark never mind this, and 81f to 82f would be even better.

I think you misread.
I write about how he is sitting in the substrate in a little bowl like manner. Not in the water dish.
I maintain humidity every day.
