    I didn't hibernate her but the tank temperatures and humidity are always a little lower during the winter. In Wisconsin, we seem to go from tropical in summer to arid and freezing in the winter so I've always allowed for a slight fluctuation. As in, summer they are around 75-78 degrees because I don't turn the ac
    on until 80 and in winter they are 70-72 with their heat lamp. Humidity is usually 75-80 in the summer because that's what the ambient humidity is without the ac and winter is more like 65. I've read that other people have had their greys breed without putting them into hibernation also. It makes sense that she would get eggy and my males would get excited considering they cycle and breed in the southern states too without a true hibernation. I usually find her in amplexus with 1 or more of the males every spring. Just kind of sucks. She was a sweety and byfar my favorite frog.

    Oh my goodness, I am so very sorry for you. I'm sure she's in a much better place, and is no longer in pain anymore. May she rest in peace

    Thanks for sharing this. I'd heard of frogs being egg bound but I thought they'd have to hibernate first.
