Because there's no branch under the bulb a temp gun isn't best as it measures the temps of objects, not the air, So you may have got a bad reading. I wouldn't let this put you off getting more as it was an unfortunate mistake but I would get a good book and a bigger tank, something taller so the frog isn't too close to the heat source. They're pretty easy to keep frogs to set up and maintain, here's a pic of mine if it helps give you an idea. Heat bulb is over the jungle vine and at the back there's UVB. There's loads of space for the frogs to escape the heat but when they rest on the jungle vine it still a good few inches away to its not to hot. The basking spot is in the low 80s whilst the background temps are mid 70s. A 25w heat lamp is used for heat
