    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Are foggers to hot for Pac man frogs?

I have been using a fogger for my pac man frog. He is in a 10 gallon tank. There is a divider in it so he has half gravel/ water and half mud. I have been using the fogger over on the water side and I am wondering if it is to :flamethr: hot for him. The water is pretty warm (comfortable for me) and keeps the tank nice and warm. I am just afraid it might be to warm for his delicate skin. I see no sign of burns or sluffing skin. He look real good actually. I don't ever see him get in the water however. He always stays on the muddy side. I have two very small mollys that live in the water and they seem to be doing good too.
 
I have to admit that I am not terribly familiar with the foggers, and there are several varieties out there. combine that with not knowing about the ambient room temp, and there is no way to say if the fogger will overheat your pacman. Best thing to do is get a thermometer in there - its a good idea anyway, as seasonal changes may impact tank temperature. As to your frog not going in the water- keep in mind that pacmans are essentially terrestrial frogs. I would recommend a potting soil (NO additives) over the gravel, as this species will burrow into the substrate. I have to admit that I usually keep them on folded paper towels, with just a little extra (dechlorinated) water. this setup allows me to be meticulous about cleaning when they excrete waste (urine or feces). in a soil based, "natural" environment, that can be difficult to stay on top of.
 
foggers are usually used for the poison darts and such, but they are just fine for horned frogs.. But make sure u dont have one of those cheap ones that burn you when u touch them!! if it does.. You could just take a margarin container or whatever and put holes in its sides near the bottom and such and use some aquarium safe adhesive/calk 5H1T to hold it down(or you can weigh it down with a gravel bottom etc...) Then make a screen top and that should work fine :spectator
 
You should be fine as long as the fogger is placed somewhere in the water region where the frog ang fogger wont come in contact. I own a exo-terra fogger for my redeye treefrogs and it doesn't seem to "heat up".
