Why do they disappear

[hasunnyson]

Your temp might be too low, I have read that they like it around 78-82 degrees Fahrenheit

You really need to get your temps up to around 82f or even 80f if that's all you can get. And yes they will bury during the day and come out at night so that's why theres holes, he is moving and comeing up at night. Do you feed during the day? If so you have to wait and do it at night. Also I don't know if you do it by your answers but at night you have to have the temps drop a couple degrees and this is what triggers them to come out. If its always the same temp it could throw him off. Glad to hear he came up but I would fix your temps for sure, costant low temps can make him ill.

I see a couple of things. Number one is temp you need to bring that up asap. Looking at your temp a bet your humidity is off as well. That long light is probably too bright as well.

Get your temp around 80f day/78f night, get your humidity up around 78, and make sure your substrate is moist.

I use a 50w red night bulb for heat and a 40w energy efficient bulb on a dimmer for daytime cycle along with a little extra heat. Humidity wise I grabbed a cool mist home humidifier and converted it to a fogger. In a tank similar to yours with a screen top that had aluminum foil covering all but just were my lights set it kept my conditions on point. You have to play with how much to fog and how much to dim the lights. After that your good.

Note: I highly highly recommend a zoomed hygrotherm to save yourself a huge burden.

Yes, if you can get ahold of the hygrotherm Pyru is right it will save you a lot of headaches with temps and humidity. I would look on amazon you can find them on there for a lot cheaper then in store, I have them for all my pacmans tanks and I love them. One more thing is I would only use the distilled water for misting even if treated, when they sit in it for long periods of time it leaches vital minerals and nutrients out of the frog.

I have an an old heating mat can I pu this higher up on the tank about 2 inches above the soil to bring up,the heat if not what would you suggest like I said I turned his light off and that was what I was relying on for heat so it's probably lower than usual is it ok if I leave the light on during the day
