    Yeah, I got some large crickets. My only real issue is heating. I live in Washington and the fall/winter now is particularly chilly this year. Getting his tank to 80F is proving to be a challenge.

    You can get a space heater to provide extra heat for the room your frog is in.

    His in the living room at the moment. I would put him in the bedroom but its far too cold in there at night. I just fed him and he only took 2 crickets and really didn't even react to the third one. He seems content though I haven't seen a BM yet and not sure if they always use the water dish for said evolution. Though when I fed him I did check where he was burrowed and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Here are some pics.

    Your light should be shining down into the enclosure. It will provide more heat that way.

    Would love to do that but there is a 20g fish tank right above his tank. That's about the best I could come up with, other than having him on my computer desk.

    You may have to do some rearranging.

    that is a very pretty set up, he looks so happy

    on the other note, i believe you said you have red light, i don't see it here
    if you can't put any fixtures on top you need to go with UTH on a side.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    I have a UTH on the side with the water dish. However, my apartment is very much like a cave and even with blinds open by 3pm its pretty dark in here so there is very little ambient light. I switched from a 50w red to a 40w Blue daytime bulb. I guess I am gonna have to move him on top of my computer desk.

    Just moved him up on my computer desk ... he is staring at me like he is gonna eat my face in the night.
