1) If it is a male, it is definitely too small. Even for a female, it should be a minimum...
2) Temps are ok.
3) Take the frog by the back. It won't jump. Don't show your hand above or in front of the frog.

ok, thanks for all answers but i have another question...to hold a pixie frog, is better a real terrarium (with right air circulation) or an aquarium tank is also good?

and, does Exo terra has a good terrarium for a pixie male?

A real terrarium would be better for air circulation;in my case,I only had an acquarium and I keep my ABF in it having an open (but meshed) lid I built by myself and the situation is not bad at all.

The problem of Exo Terra, is that you can only put a depth of 14cm maximum of substrate, even for a 90x45x45.
If you want your frog to estivate (2 months per year for example), and if it is a male, it will not be sufficient.
This is why I think Exo Terra's are better if it is a female...

i saw this exo terra 90x45x45 and it sounds good....estivation is necessary? a frog can survive good also without estivation?

[falconez]

If stabulation parameters are good and stable,maybe the frog won't estivate simply 'cos she won't need it.In the wild estivation is a behavior due to long term hot & dry...so,in captivity,there would not be that need.
(P.S.:ciao,sono su questo forum da un po' perchè in America la Pyxie è molto più allevata e conosciuta che da noi,quindi,se vuoi imparare...a presto )

ok...thanks for all answers

(si infatti ho notato, sui forum italiani consigliano tutti i tappetini riscaldanti, invece mi trovo molto meglio con la lampada...mi manderesti un pm con tutti i dati del tuo terrario e della tua pixie? cosi giusto per scambiarci qualche info grazie)
