Is there anyone here that has had horror stories or bad experiences with coconut fiber?

I've tested the light and it seems to heat up very fast. Went up about 10 degrees (to 80 degrees from my room temp.) in less than 5 minutes. Just thought it might be too powerful. Don't wanna bake the guy! I suppose as long as I'm adamant on watching the temp. all will be okay. And I will certainly look into a "night light" for them.

And yes! I figured they'd need something to grow into. I planned on getting something bigger after a while and then passing this tank down to a different breed.

Thank you so much for all your help! I feel a bit more confident now.
Paper towel is ugly lol. Big river rocks and stones are a safe choice. They look nice and as long as they are bigger than the frogs mouth, safe.

If the light does get too hot, you can always buy a lamp dimmer so you can adjust the amount of heat that comes out.

Good luck!
