How wet/moist should the substrate be for my pacman? From some of the pictures I've seen in this forum, many of you have really moist substrate. I've only had my pacman about six weeks. I just followed the directions on the Forest Bed and used 3 liters for the one block. Am I not keeping my substrate moist enough?

Personally, I like it to where the top is a bit dry, but the lower parts of the substrate are nice and damp. I would not suggest keeping the tank too damp as it makes the whole a bacteria breeding ground. As well, Ceratophrys, as well as many frogs, urinate and defecate in their water. So if a tank is too damp, the frogs are going to urinate and defecate all over. If the tank is a bit drier, they usually do both in their bowl while soaking, which makes for easier clean up. Not to say you still shouldn't clean out the bedding often.
