hey guys soo...i just got a pacman frog hes an albino. i got him a 10 gallon tank long of coarse with a lid. washed it out reel good with half viniger and half water then rinsed several times.substrate is eco earth. i placed it to make sorta a hill...the low half is about 2 in of eco earth and rises to about 5 inches. i am using a,ow watt bulb and getting around 78 degrees witha digital thermomintor..i have a water bowl that got a little lip so he can get in and out easy and its not deep at all...i have a small log on their with some plants as well. i keep humidity at 80% and allow it to bottom out t 65% before more misting to prevent mold. night time drop to around 65. i have a bearded dragon, two green tree frogs, and two crested geckos so any help with this new speicies would be awsome...so hows my set up sound? oh yeah and my guy is like a baby no biger then a quarter...prolly the size of one. so anyways the problem is my frog wont eat....got him at a reptile expo last saturday so ive had him for a week and he just wont eat...his skin isnt hard so he not hibernating or anything like they do....i know theres a nether name for it i just dont rember. ive tried small crix large crix. medium discoid and small discoid and even mealworms in a bowl,,, nothing

Hello,

I use under the tank heat instead of a light. 78 degrees is still low. Normal 85+ day, night 70+. 65 at night is cold.

He looks fine and fat. If he is not eating, he could just be adjusting and additional heat would help. Try other food items once the temps are up.

They will spend most of their time dug in, so it you want to see him, keep the soil only as deep as he is tall.

Cheers

so my frogs tank is now at 89 degrees, how hot is too hot

i have read that a day temp of a maximum of 85 is good for these guys. i am not positive, but i would go with that. he/she looks good, fat and healthy.

I wouldn't go much over 85 if I were you. I have had reasonable success with these guys at slightly lower temperatures.
