    These frogs are not very active and usually spend their time buried in their favorite spots so there is no need for massive enclosures. A 10 gallon is great for both male and female, but an adult male is perfectly happy being housed even in a 5 gallon. The reason for me using the Exo-Terras and Zoo Med 12"x12"x18" is for 1) better humidity holding 2) better at holding heat, and 3) the 18" height even though made for arboreal. frogs provides good distance from the lamp to the enclosure floor, so no need to worry about cooking the frog or overly drying the enclosures. Many setups are just fine, but some work better than others and that is fact. Price can be an issue, but when it comes to my pets I do what I need to in order to provide the necessary care and housing for them. All my climates are maintained and have almost no fluctuation which is needed to prevent stress and an unwanted aestivation period that can be potentially fatal for frogs under a year of age and death from inexperienced keepers attempting a natural process that they are very unfamiliar with.

    I started my pacman in a an ExoTerra 12x12x12 in March when we brought it home as a baby. It is now August and SHE is already 3 inches! Just this week I had to put her in a 20 long enclosure. (On sale at PetCo for $35). You see, by the time they grow a bit, the water dish needed so that they can properly soak ends up being half the size of the 12x12x12. I was also told my frog could live in a 12x12x12 forever by our local reptile store, but it really depends how large the frog is going to be. Now I have an empty tank my kid is begging me to fill with a new creature...lucky kid!

    Wait until you get a female that goes from quarter size to 4" in 3 months. One of mine grew this fast and had 4 different water dishes over that period of time.

    Don't get me wrong, I'd love another addition, but I'm running outta display space. Gonna have to start parking on the street and turn the garage into a menagerie.

    We have 1 male chinese water dragon, 1 male bearded dragon, 1 versicolor tarantula (sex unknown), and 1 female pacman.

    Haha! You might as well accept it; it's going to happen. Once "Frog Addiction" sets in there is no stopping it!

    We used to have a guest bedroom/office... now we call it the Frog Room.

    I homeschool my autistic son, so the extra room is the classroom/pet room. He keeps telling me there is plenty of room for more lovable things if we just purchase a giant rack, seriously considering it at this point. Next he is debating between a cobalt tinc and a fantasy frog. Can a tinc live in a 12X12X12 forever or should I just head to Home Depot and do the deed? LOL, animals are his gift, there's not stopping the knowledge!

    Send me the water dragon and you'll have room for more.
