Hi
As a new member I was wondering what type of housing other members prefer for their Pyxicephalus (also other frogs and toads)?
I use very large RUBs (Plastic lockable lid storage boxes) and have used these for all my reptiles in the past.
I find them ideal because you can join them to others as your animal grows.
They keep well insulated and are very inexpensive compared to large glass tanks, which means you can save the money and buy the best equipment
for your animal.
I can buy a 3ft by 2ft long tub for around $20, then I spend money on the things which matter such as a really good heat mat,
heat bulbs, night bulbs, plants, thermometers, filter and pumps etc I found that glass tanks damage more over time with water, they are harder
to keep clean.
If need be you can cut a section from one and join it to another, you can even use drain piping to create tunnels for fun.
Obviously they do not weight as much, so they are more easily cleaned and moved around, perfect for people with space issues or disabilities.
Most reps/amphibians do not like to be in glass tanks due to stress so they are ideal.
Not having to buy an expensive glass tank opens up the hobby for people on lower budgets.
You can copy their environment and keep happy animals without spending a massive amount at the start.

Has anyone else got any preferences...or ideas on other things to keep them in?
I know someone who used an old attic water tank also, made a lovely large swimming pool for their monitor, so it would be a nice idea for frogs and toads too.
