I contacted Mike from Mike's Phat Frogs and Im going to be picking up one of His Lime Albinos this weekend. So Im really looking forward to that.

Im planning on setting up my critter carrier with some moist eco earth, a wrap around background, and a small water dish. I was also going to place it up against my 10 gallon tank's UTH (Tropical model, doesn't produce much heat) to regulate temperature.

Still have a plentiful supply of crickets and nightcrawlers at home too

Is there any advice you guys could offer as to how long I should keep it in the carrier, or should I plan on buying incrementally larger carriers until its big enough to have to go in the 10 gallon. The book im reading now says around 3 inches, but theres so much information out there that tends to vary, I just wanted to get your opinions.

Thanks
You don't have to buy every size keeper. You can actually keep babies happily in the next to largest sized keeper. You can buy the Hermit Crab UTH and place it on the back of the keeper. This way the enclosure is not to large and just large enough to allow your baby Pac to grow before needing to be relocated to a larger home. I currently have 2 babies in this size keeper and they both are doing quite well. Only place an inch or an inch and a quarter of substrate in there so the frog can cover itself, but not so deep that you can't find him/her.

Good luck I hope thing go much smoother this time.
