That is too warm. You should try to keep the tank between 65 at night, and can actually become somewhat cooler, perhaps down to 55 without major problems occuring with the larger frogs such as auratus and tincs, to a maximum of 80 during the day. This is easier done by controlling room temperatures than by other methods, but raising your lights away from the tank, or actually turning them off during hot spells also helps. Venting and blowing a fan across wet terry cloth towels holding some ice may help in a hot spell pinch if you don't have central air conditioning. This is pretty labor intensive. Since I live in an area where hot spells are rare, so I don't have central air conditioning, this is what I do on the rare occasions things get too hot.
