I got my Pacman yesterday and I got it setup with a 10 gal tank. I am very new to this but I am also very interested in these lil monsters.

So I went to petsmart, picked up my frog, and I also got tropical cypress bedding and the coconut fiber. It was recommended to me to mix them together, which I did. Also I got the frog set-up which came with the undertank heater, fluker's calcium dust sample for insects, thermometer, hygrometer and spray bottle.

So after I got his bedding, guages, plant, log and water dish in the tank it was time to introduce him to his new home. And first thing he did was hop a few times and then he buried himself. To the point where I didnt have any clue where he was. Though I know this is what they do.

Anyway, I havent been able to get his home at a stable temperature/humidity. I keep it sprayed and of course the humidity will rise but it wont stay that way for long.

So after some research I went back to petsmart and got a heat lamp and some moss. Now I have read alot of posts about the moss. But I didnt use much and only put it along the sides of the tank. Almost like a fence. Then I added the lamp. Its a flukers clamp lamp with a DIMMER so that I can control the wattage/heat/brightness. We have a 50 watt Neodymium basking bulb but of course it is not no where near 50 watts when in use. I only keep the warm side of the tank with the lamp and heating pad. The other remaining top is covered with a towel not allowing the humidity to escape to easily.

Since doing all of this I have been able to maintain a temp of 80 and its a constant battle to keep the humidity at 80. I just wrapped half of my top with plastic wrap and placed a towel on top of it. Hoping it will hold for a while because it has dropped since I started this post.

I tried to feed Buddha today, but of course, he wasnt interested. So as he sits under his plant, im just curious if im being to cautious or do I not know what im really doing. Any feedback would be great.

Thx
