No, I'm going to ask where did you arrive at your answer. If that annoys you then perhaps you should ask yourself the question at hand lol. I'm not saying it does annoy you Griff, but just sayin' man that's all. I even remember stating that all the methods that almost all of you use we're 100% legit. I'm just maybe coming up with a new one. Maybe not lol. But I wouldn't do so without asking for all your opinions, and why.
    No worries I'm not annoyed its just eventually someone gets mad and goes too far. I at one time thought of having a small part of the tank be water and the rest land when I first started. Kind of like 75% land and 25% water but that idea for me dwindled away since that is a ver small body of water and a waste to try and filter or change without removing the substrate. I found a farely large water dish was so much easier to deal with. All I can say is you could test your idea. The only problem is experimenting with living things especially beloved pets and the experiment goes wrong you wind up with a lost pet and a broken heart and no one wants that. It saddens me every time I read a thread where a frog is sick and when we all respond its too late. I don't like to experiment with my family members. Especially when they are doing well already.

    My Pac is currently on paper towels. This is just an idea for the future when he gets older.

    There are plastic water dishes manufactured for larger animals like monitors and stuff that you could stick in the frog's eco-earth. It'd give him plenty of water-space but you wouldn't have to worry about doing a 50-50 setup. They're easy to just pick up and clean out.

    I have large granite water dish for Grif made by Exo-Terra. Its really nice, but its slick when the water is in it. I'm going to take some sand paper to it and rough up the inside so she can grip the bottom better.
