Letting your horned frog go dormant

For the most part I'd imagine nothing bad will happen but you could invest in a fogger or some sort as it may provide more fresh air compared to the dry air in winter. I hope all goes well!

Thank you Jason you just gave me an idea, im going to hook my normal cool air humidifier up in the room and let it run for abit and see what happens with the tanks. This way since I have one room for all the frogs and may help them all abit. I have walked by this thing I dont know how many times lately and never once thought of putting in there so again thank you.

That's sounds like a good idea man. I read in AVS popular tree frogs that it's good to use a room humidifier to keep humidity levels up. I'd imagine it will provide more moist, fresh air so hopefully it will stop your frog from going into aestivation. As you said you provided light ontop of your set up continue doing that aswell with cycle of 12 hours light per day.

I was already thinking of keeping the light on top, ever since they went into there own room her tank doesn't get the same amount of light from ceiling so I had no choice actually to get the light. Every frog I own now has some sort of light on top now. Its just a 7 watt LED, not to bright but just bright enough to light up the tank. And it doesn't add any heat either, it only makes my tank go up half a degree. And shes the albino so I didn't want to go to bright, seems to be doing the trick though.

led doesn't produce UVa and is more for your viewing pleasure aswell as certain grow led for plants. I would use a natural light compact daylight or 2% which produces uva and will help a day/night cycle but no UVB when above mesh as Uvb is halved through mesh and therefore a 2% would be useless. I've heard you can use UVB and bright lights with albinos aslong as you offer plenty of hiding spots and shade away from the light for the animal to regulate its exposure
