Tank size

[Pezoneden]

interesting im thinking of purchasing a pacman from mike real soon here and i have a 10 gal tank im planning on keeping him in. Should i go get a smaller tank untill he gets a little bigger or will he do just fine in the 10 gal? i have another tank that i put my firebellies in while cleaning their setup. its 12" long 6 1/2" wide and 12" tall would that work until he gets a little bigger?

you can stack your 10 gal with stuff ( plants, decor, etc) to minimize the space and then redo as the frog grows, but your smaller one will do, will need to cover 3 sides of it and put some stuff in anyway.

That poses a problem for feeding if the frog will not tong feed. To many places for feeders to hide from the frog.

yeah that is true and that is why it is better when they tong trained, so many problems can be avoided this way

Actually that sounds like a medium plastic critter keeper and would be a good size for a baby or juvi. Just slap a small UTH made for Hermit Crab enclosures on the side and provide a 12 hour day/night cycle and all should be fine. Cover the sides with some Cut to size Static Cling natural background(except the side with the UTH stuck on it) and he should feel nice and secure. Maybe even add a small fake plant to hide under.

You can also tape plastic wrap over most of the vents on the lid to keep heat and humidity in. Post a pic of this small container.
