His temps are good, but the humidity is really low. I spray the substrate daily but I still can't get it to maintain a high %.
I think I may need to buy a humidifier unless someone else knows a cheaper way.

Re: Impaction?
what are you keeping him in? tank rub etc. and doea it have a lid if so is the lid a mesh one as a lot of the moisture could be going out the top you could combat this by placing some plastic over 2/3rds of the lid this would keep the humidity up,Originally Posted by Drizzle

Re: Impaction?
20 Gallon Long glass tank with mesh top. I'll try that plastic suggestion, thanks!
Re: Impaction?
that will solve the humidity problem, but the heat will increase slightly so keep an eye on your tempratures to until you get it right,

Re: Impaction?
The large superworms do take a while for smaller frog/toads to pass. I know when I have super worms for my cane toads, and drop a few to my American toads it does plump them up for a few weeks.
The only guess is that the shells take longer to move through them, but I've never had any actual impaction problems. Just don't go crazy with feeding him, let him decide when his appiete returns.
Re: Impaction?
He's about 4.5" svl so I think he's big enough to be eating good sized supers.
He's definitely impacted... I've seen him attempt to poop but he just can't.
He ate a couple superworms today but then tried to poop and couldn't and lost his appetite. Should I stop feeding him?
Going to call a local herp vet soon when I get my next paycheck. Anyone know about how much it would cost to get him checked up/taken care of?
