Pac Man Setup Beginner

I actually just set up a 20 gallon tank to house 2 frogs. I bought: Tile Runners/Holders from Home Depot (they look a lot like the clips that you bind your school reports in, only these are much longer and easily cut), Acrylic sheeting from Home Depot, and Hot Glue. After cutting the acrylic to size (easier said than done), I bordered it with the runners, cut those to size, put it in the tank, and hot glued it in place. Some people use aquarium silicone, but with my tiny apartment, the hot glue was easier. If I need to clean I can slide the acrylic sheeting out of the runners for easier access. Because the acrylic is clear I've had to put contact paper/ aquarium contact paper on it so the frogs can't see each other, but it's worked wonderfully so far!

Good idea, I thought about just getting a piece of glass cut to fit the part and use aquarium sealant. The only reason you dont want the barrier clear is becuase of the thought of thinking the other is food. right?

Exactly, and also, if they see crickets or "food" on the other side of the wall they can get stressed out or upset when they can't get to it. I picked up the acrylic sheeting because it's sturdier and less likely to shatter, and I'm a klutz.

Yep. That is exactly why. It will also reduce stress.

You can do that, but it is best to have one. They do like to have access to shallow water. It helps incase humidity is not quite right and to assist with shedding if necessary. They have trouble shedding when humidity isn't right.

A fogger will help humidity? correct

If you have it set on a timer to go on and off throughout the day or have a climate control unit like the Zoo Med Hygrotherm. but even with these it is a good idea to provide water just incase. They do like to bathe occasionally and it also helps the go to the bathroom since most use their water dish for that purpose.
