    do not use plants. it is a waste of money because the frogs dig them up anyways, even in pots they will tip them over. If you want shade then get one of those hollowed out tree trunks at the pet store.
    use an under tank heater and attach it above the substrate level on one side of the tank. you want to keep the ambient air warm (82-86 degrees) is a rough estimate with a slight drop in temp at night so you may need to get a rheostat. I notice that pyxis can be very hardy and are less picky about temperature and lighting, but 150W is way too hot and too bright. If your frog is digging to the bottom then there is an issue with temperature or humidity. (most likely temp with a 150W bulb) Make sure you mist at least once a day. twice a day would be better

    You can buy fake plants that are large enough so that the frog can't accidentally ingest them. Use driftwood and even large cave features for the frog to seek shelter in.
