    Would wait until you know sex to get a larger tank. A 20L might be all you need for a smaller female; but a male will need anywhere from a 40B to a 75G if huge.

    -I own the Exo-terra small-low (18x18x12)...this should be good enough for when my ornate becomes an adult EVEN if it turns out to be a female right? ...
    Yes, that will do even for an Ornate female.

    -So just to double check, the pyxie does not need to be submerged/floating in water (as some youtube videos I've seen showing off their set ups); water to the chin is fine and there's no need for a "pool" right?
    It won't "need it" but if you do a 50-50 set up (or even 1/3 land 2/3 water) frog will happily use a swimming depth water (water height around frog's SVL). Just make sure dry section access is easy and maybe provide a rock slab or similar on water section for frog to leave water and chill out.
    Hope this helps, good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    WOW! 75 gallon if I end up with a large male? Oh snap.... but I thought they didn't need that much space considering they don't move much and just wait for prey. Isn't 75G overkill? I don't have space for that hahaha. These are going in my room because my wife will never let me put them in the living room and I already have a lot of furniture in my room as it is to add such a big tank, and she'd most likely make me sleep in the tank with my frog if I get that. LOL@women.

    Well, the care sheet said at least 20gal should be good enough for an adult male, I guess the more the better but 75g? lol This is not a whale man! Are these frogs that active that they need so much space? Now you got me thinking Carlos, if that's the case then I hope I get a female.

    75G is completely unnecessary. Even a 40 Long would be more than enough.
