    Yeh i was thinking of using a ceramic heat emitter with a thermostat and a brooder dome by zoomed but would it hurt to put it over the water side and a daylight incandescent heat bulb on the land side and if not what watt water heater should I use cause the water side is 2 foot of the tank and gonna be 5 inches deep and I have a fluval canister filter for the filtration I'm just a perfectionist when it comes to my three pyxies and I don't want anything to happen to them cause I take top notch care of them and thanks for the tips and the room temperature in my house stays around 74degrees farenheit

    Sorry missed your second question. You have a volume close to 10 gallons, so recommend a Eheim Jagger 50W heater to raise temp 10F above ambient. With water heated it will help raise humidity and overall enclosure temp. Can experiment with ceramic emitter position until you find what is best for set-up and frog. Remember to place heater out of frog's reach.

    If enclosure looks dark and for observation, think a longer lamp fixture like a fluorescent T8 or T5 is better than a single incandescent bulb. Can also use LED strips but those are more expensive initially with 36 in. fixtures running around $100 and up.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
