    Hi, how do you retain the right temperature zone and keep humidity in your pacman frog's tank? I'm brand new to owning an amphibian and have noticed I have to spray down my juvenile frog's tank multiple times a day. I'm thinking about getting a timed fogger, but do you have any recommendations for heating and moisture? Super helpful tutorial. Edit: I should also note I don't have a lid for my enclosure at the moment, should I get a screen lid?

    Should you change out the substrate at some point? If it gets used for a while wouldn’t of become really messy or unclean?

    Hello! I have my first pacman frog and live in a relatively cold place (winters the inside of the house can match outside temperatures). I’m thinking of getting an automatic mister and a heat light to make sure the humidity and temperature are in a safe range (10 gallon tank), what would you recommend? Would only one Arcadia deep heat projector work or do I need 2?
    I give my frog vitamin D3 so I’m looking for a non UVB light that won’t upset him since I am sometimes away from home for a few days straight for work.

      70-80 I think is too narrow. Most houses will dry out a tank really fast so that’s why I say 50-80. 60 -80 is pretty ideal but for people who live in houses with AC and heat it is very difficult to keep it so high or even people who live in very dry climates. Mine are doing fine and are 3+ years old now.
