Well, I feel the need to get a timed set-back thermostat.

I'm recording my frog's food intake. He has eaten every day since I got him, but recently, a drop off.

I'm manually setting back the temperature at night to 75F, but I appear to be giving him longer nights than he likes. It's winter where I live, so the house is cold and the nights are long.

The frog was eating more when he was at a solid 85F, and eating seems to have dropped off with 'shorter days'.

So I figure I need to consistently make the "night time temperature" last only 9 hours, with daytime heating at 15 hours. Rather than the way it is now, with only 9 or so hours of heat.

I've ordered a second thermostat, one that has a timer. It will control the top heating with a daytime 15 hour set point of 86F. At night, top heating will turn off, or at least be set back to 73F so that no heat comes from above at night. My other thermostat will continue to control the bottom pads and it will be set to 75F so that the bottom of the tank never goes under that. This seems to be very close to the natural environment.

I've added moss on top of the cocoa substrate. A determined frog can get through and bury itself, but it also tends to be satisfied to dig into the moss only a little bit. Much cleaner frog.

Those 'sacks' at his side make it very difficult to tell how fat the frog is. I've seen the frog get 'irritated' once and it blew up to enormous proportions. When digging in and resting, he's plump, as shown in the photo above. When swallowing prey or actively moving around, he expels all of the air and looks 'thin' in comparison.
It's interesting to watch the shedding behavior. It blows up its sides real fat and then does a twirling motion with the back leg to remove the slime.
