Nice cage design

Here's my leo's cage:

That will not do for a Pacman. Frogs have a lot of special needs. especially tropical species.

I realize that. I currently have the appropriate substrate and everything. I've done my research on pacman frogs before I got one. My original question was, does anyone have any setups that have a great design. Pictures would be great. I have no plans to put my packman on tile with a UTH burning it. I know how to take care of it. I'm just looking for example tank designs, not to drop my pacman in my leo's cage.

Here is a Vivarium I recently built for my adult female Cranwelli. She isn't in yet. I'm allowing it to grow.

That's amazing. I tried using live plants with the cresteds I had but it was more work than it was worth and ended up using fake plants, which they were perfectly fine with.

Anyway, here's my current setup. It's a bit sparse. I read that they like to have a sort of enclosure as it makes them more comfortable, so I wrapped it with some blue scrapbook paper. Also, under the leaves is a log for him to go into. He seems to like going under the rock, which I made sure was secure. One the left side I have an UTH, as from what I understand they like to thermoregulate (and is away from the water).

Please feel free to correct me if I'm doing anything wrong. Any suggestions on further designs would be more than welcome.

Thanks for the advice so far.

If you haven't read the forums care article here it is. This will provide climate conditions that you must maintain. Your build should always accommodate the frogs climate needs.

I apologize, but I think I missed what you were referencing in the care sheet. I just woke up, so that could be why. I just took the temp and it's in the mid-70s, which I read elsewhere was okay (I've read a number of caresheets and have been trying to follow their instructions), but I can insulate it this afternoon if that's the issue, so the tank can hold heat better. I'll stick in my hydrometer this afternoon as well, so I can keep track of the humidity, but I have been misting his cage to make sure it's humid. I really like the little guy, so don't want to do something stupid to shorten his lifespan. Again, thanks for all of your help. It's much appreciated. This is definitely one of the more newbie friendly forums I've been to.

I've had plenty of geckos (crestie care seems to be somewhat similar), but am new to frogs, so I figured this would be an easy transition but there are some subtle differences that I wasn't aware of despite reading a bunch before getting him.

Nice guide though. I'll read through it again at work to make sure I didn't miss any glaring errors I'm making, but I'm really not sure what they are.

Oh, and I plan on adding more to his cage (leaves, etc.). Amazon is just taking a bit longer with the supplies than I expected.
