Other options that are great to help control and maintain humidity and make your Pac-Man frog’s enclosure more natural is with additional mosses and live plants. Golden sphagnum moss is one of the highest quality mosses that hold humidity better than any other moss and is very mold resistant. One of the best ways to increase humidity, on top of the water feature, is using a large amount of golden sphagnum moss on the substrate side. Having a large water dish will help maintain a higher humidity and reduce the amount of misting needed. Be sure to mist the cage 1-2 times a day or as needed to keep the proper humidity. Humidity should be kept at 60-80 percent at all times. Lastly, remember that if you decide to run lights for live plants that they will increase the temperature by a couple degrees.
Make sure to monitor your tank temperatures for a couple days in a row before adding your frog. At night the temperature can drop into the mid 60s. During the day temperatures can reach 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit. Males will have a dark organ on the thumb (called a nuptial pad) that is used to grip the females when mating.Pac-Man frogs do well in room temperature settings but supplemental heating can be used. Once they are old enough (generally 6+ months), the most accurate way to sex your frog is to look at the thumbs. Keep an eye on your temperatures and to make sure your frog is not overheated. Pacman frogs hide in the dirt to ambush their prey. It's normal for a pacman frog to sit in the same place for days or even weeks at a time! However, encouraging them to move occasionally to spot-clean the substrate where they have been sitting is a good idea for the health of your frog. Pacman frogs are naturally sedentary and don't move much except when dinner comes by. You can also thoroughly wash and rinse your hands and keep them moist with dechlorinated water. It is best to wear nitrile gloves that are moistened with dechlorinated water.
