    #5 is that spring water or distilled water?

    The reason I ask is that Distilled water is good for misting and cleaning only.
    Spring or dechlorinated water is good for use in its water bowl and water features like fountains ect. ect.
    you can use it for misting but it might leave spots on the glass.

    I am assuming that the frog in question is a pixie or packman frog.

    As for feeding I would ask grifthegreat

    It is spring water, and is the only reason spring is, "bad" is because of the stains on glass? It's still healthy for the frog if I mist with that, right? Thanks for the Reply.

    yes it is ok, it just has minerals in it that the frog needs.

    you just don't want to use distilled water for its water bowl and soaks.

    OK cool, I just don't understand why he wont leave the "dry" side of the tank. Do you think I should spray him?

    Never spray the frog directly. Also there should never actually be a "dry" spot in the enclosure. All the substrate should be uniformly moist. Post some pictures of the frog and it's enclosure.

    Yep, I'm curious too; what kind of frog are we talking about? Also, how long is frog from snout to vent?

    IRT spring water being safe; yes if truly from a spring. Distilled water is only for spraying enclosure. De-ionized or Reverse Osmosis (RO) should not be used and filtered water still needs to be treated with chlorine remover (same as tap). Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Oh sorry, it's a Pacman. My girlfriend has the digital camera, so when she gets home from class I'll have to snap a few pictures. He's fully burrowed at the moment, but I sprayed the dry side as soon as I got home. Hopefully I haven't been hurting him or anything. He eats really well.
