Identification

He is nice looking, I believe it’s the same as my albino which is a lime albino. And it’s not ornate it’s a Cranwelli, yes they were wrong. Cranwelli is the only one they have albino morphs in. The 75 watt may be a little to much, the highest bulb you should use is 60 watt. And with the space heater it may end up makeing it to hot. They have very sensitive skin and can dry out pretty fast. And remember for the albino to not put a bright light over him, a ceramic heat emitter is better and you can use a very dim led for lighting. Even if you kept the light on in the room that would be good enough as long as it lights up his enclosure enough.

I have the space heater set on 70f because I figured combined with the heat lamp it would bump the temperature up just enough. I've had this current setup going for about 5-ish hours now and both their thermometers are reading 82f-84f while their hydrometers read roughly 71% but I will keep monitoring them. As far as the albino goes I was told that an infrared heat bulb would work best (which I already had at home) so I have a 75w infrared bulb clamp lamp (which is ceramic) on his tank and I just adjusted the lamps position so that it's not shining directly down on him. I most likely will turn the space heater temperature down because I don't want them to dry out, I just wanted them to be warm enough but thank you for the insight! Should I alter the albino's setup in any way?

Ya the infrared bulb will work, I always forget about those. I would personally bump the space heater up to 75 and use a 60 watt bulb but that decision is up to you. You could set the albino up the same way heat and humidity wise just not the same lighting. And again if you haven't covered any of the top it honestly works like a charm, and it really helps keep humidity up and the substrate from drying so fast. And I don't know if you were told or if your doing it but a drop in temps at night by a few degrees is good for them and is very appreciated, this way they have time to cool off and this triggers there feeding. you want to have 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. If they were not captive and in the nature the temp would drop at night and when it drops and it becomes dark this is when they come out from there burrows to eat, they are nocturnal predators. You can do this by getting a dimmer and you can regulate the temps that way, or you can get a thermostat that has a day and night setting. One more thing for heating is its good to have the lamp off to one side of the enclosure and have a few degree temp difference, this way they can thermoregulate there own body temps during the day if they become to warm or vice versa. Hope this helps you out a bit.

I'm going to try everything you've suggested, thanks for all the input and help!

Congrats on the new frog! He's really cute, I think he looks like a lime, too. These frogs are mislabeled frequently. Sometimes they're just labeled "pacman frog" lol. I'd add some advice, but Monster has you covered on everything! Good luck with your new frog!

You are covered.

Word of advice when needing an ID. Rinse the frog off or post a picture immediately after the frog has shed. Ample lighting helps as well.

I will post cleaner pictures for y'all when I get off work. I had just read about frogs super sensitive skin and was worried about washing away any essential oils they need but if you say it's okay then I'll go for it because I really want y'all to see them in their glory.
