    So Colleen/Jerrod, with that said it's almost the same thing as pacmans? No extra stuff I need to know?(like that albino light example)

    -What tank size do you recommend me from getting for this baby? 5 gallon for now or get a 10 instead since they grow fast? I got my pacman an exo terra 24x18x12 but he's way to small to use it(he's in a medium critter carrier) and I don't want to make the same mistake for my pyxie, but since they grow fast what's best? My exo terra looks like a "square", is a rectangular shaped tank better pyxies or the exo terra square one should be fine too?

    -I've seen youtube videos that actually have small containers filled with water inside the terrarium.....kinda like a "pool"; Is this necessary or a typical water bowl up-to-the-chin is enough? Does the frog actually need to be completely submerged?

    -I do need daylight bulbs because my room is dark, for my pacman I'm using a zoo med basking light that you recommended me. Can I use the same bulb types (basking/infrared) for pyxies?

    -If you can please post me pics of your pyxie's set up just to have an idea.
    You can use the same lights or what SCF recomended.

    i would recommend to get UVB for pixie, in a wild they live in open thus gets a lot of sun light and while it is not proven if UVB needed or not for african bullfrogs, but I'd say you better have it, 2.0 is sufficient, provided that a frog has where to hide if he chooses to.

    also I'd say aim for 50/50 water/substrate set up, and get yourself ready for big poops and aggressive eating, if you think your pacman eats a lot just wait for when you have pixie lol

    anyhow will be waiting for pics
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
