Recieved my baby!!!!!!

That looks really great.
Sort of how I want to set up my 10g for my frogs[though less water and more trees/vines].

What have you got in there to prevent the water from flowing into the soil? Like a platic container? I want to incorporate something like that, but on a lesser scale.

its a large critter carrier with a fluval filter in it some fake plants glued to it so as to make a sort of stairway out, he can hop out as well on any of the sides, plexyglass up to the critter carrier to prevent him from burrowing under or around, and large river rocks around the swiming area for the same purpose

Nice man! He's a healthy pyxie already going in his water. Just an idea for when your frog gets a little older: take the plastic critter out, cut the plexiglass wall down a little, level the dirt to wall level, turn the whole other side into a water area, 50/50 half land half water. Have you checked out the care sheet on pyxie's yet? Have fun with your frog, they have extreme appetites and grow quick!

He's got a nice new home there I'd say :] .

yea Ive looked at several care sheets, 3-4 adult crickets a day once a week a cricket dusted with calcium. 75-85 degrees, keep substrait moist, not sure on how to handle when they shed but il look into it more. thanks for the comments though

What model underwater filter are you using? Also, is it a good idea to add a large water source for them. I'd like to have a nice aquatic area for mine. I have my baby in a 2.5gal tank but bought a 20gal long for when he is grown or should I just put him in it and set a plexi divider?

its a fluval filter not sure the model name, it has the sponge and the carbon filter, it was 66 bucks, aquatic areas are fine from what i hear as long as they can get out easily. id do a 29 gallon as it gives more room to work with.

Cool, I have a 29gal thats being used as my communal scorpion tank house about 35 babies I could sawp them to the 20gal and use the 29. When using a tank that large for a baby is it hard for them to hunt/eat? Awesome setup and frog btw!

seems fine so far, im tong feeding him at the moment, just cause i dont need him eating a bunch of coco fiber, scorps are awesome,dont have any but i do have 3 giant centipedes!

I used to have a Vietnamese centipede but they are just to much for me on the creepy side. I was a tarantula/scorpion breeder for a few years had over 100 inverts

He looks amazing!!! Glad we got you set up good!

yea you sure did help me bunches, it ate 4 crickets after i recieved it now its just sittin around in the coconut fiber not movin all that much, pretty sure this is normal haha just happy it is healthy.

I have to dig up my little fatty each night to feed him. He like to burrow all the way down to the glass.

hopefully mine doesnt burrow that far or ive got alot of digging

lol, yes you will my big dwarf makes tunnels everywhere in his tank so I usually have to dig up half the tank to find him, i think he feels as if he should be a worm.

I just got to thinking about how to make a 50/50 tank. You could use a paint tray liner for teh aquatic side since they taper down to a deep end and all the way up to the lip so a natural slope. plus you wouldn't near nearly as much depth.

great idea! those roller trays are great, you wanna make sure the plastic wont leach toxins into the water. so get a non toxic plastic. i have live fish in mine in case it wants sushi so i wanted a deeper filtered swimming area

I thought about using teh biodegradable ones. What do I need to look for to insure they are not toxic?

Why couldn't you just not cut the plexiglass wall so high and leave the whole water side open?
