Rest In Peace, Frog

Hi, just went through your answers and not saying say this is the cause but here is couple things to fix for next time. Your humidity you want to keep around 75% no higher then 80%, when the humidity is lower it makes it harder for them to shed and it helps them retain water longer then if they were in dry air so they don't dehydrate. Dehydration is another reason its always important to keep the substrate moist, if the air dries out he can always rehydrate in the substrate. If you were keeping it in the 60s this could have been part of the reason there was skin left on the legs, not saying this is the complete reason but could have contributed to it. For the heat you want it to stay around 82F to 84F, I would say more around the 82F for a baby and let it go down a few degrees at night. The other thing is when finding a place for his terrarium in the house you want it to be as quiet and low traffic as possible. Constant loud noises and people walking and by etc really stressing them out. Again please don't think this why your frog passed, he more then likely already had something. I don't think you even owned him long enough for these to be a factor in the passing.

As to the above points, I kept his substrate really moist (Not wet, just damp) and I think it's likely that the humidity was higher closer to the soil than the sensor could reach. The shed was stuck on his legs to start with - I actually managed to get a bit of it off his sides when I brought him home and soaked him, because I was also worried he was dehydrated.

Otherwise I'll keep your comments in mind in the future! Someday I'll try again.

Hi, please don't take that wrong way. I wasn't trying to say you weren't doing it right and contributed to the passing, it was just helpful pointers. And sometimes I will even admit that they just don't get all the skin and you have to help them out, and when it happens with mine its always the back legs like yours was. And I just do the same thing, drop in a bath wait for him to get nice and wet and just peel it for him.

I didn't take it that way! I was just mentioning that his issues had already developed when I purchased him. Otherwise your comments really were helpful.
