Pyxie hiding hut.

[NialR35]

This is what I ended up doing, let me know if you guys think it's a good idea.



I ended up putting the hut on the left next to the heat pad only because it was either that or the water bowl....and I'm scared that when the frog gets bigger and so will the water bowl, it can splash water on the glass where the heat pad is and crack it. So as you can see in the pictures, the left side would be the warm side and the right side would be the cool side. The dimmer dome is in the middle of the tank landing on top of the plastic plant to provide some shade.

I was hesitant about putting the hut on the "warm" side but if you think about it, most of the time frogs like to burrow under the plant, and most of the time people place the heat lamp on top of the plant to provide some shade yet enough heat. So I don't think it's a bad idea to place the hut on the warm side because either way the plant covers the entrance, making the inside cooler since the light doesn't hit in there. I had to move my hanging plant to the far right on top of the water bowl because they are too big for the 10 gal and when I placed it in the middle wall it would provide way to much shade and make it really dark, covering the probe so temps would be off a bit.

Oh, by the way can Pyxies handle hotter temps than pacs? Or the same rule of 82-day/78-night still applies for babies?

Let me know what you guys think!

The glass shouldn't crack. The water would have to be pretty cool to cause that and if that was the case then misting would crack the glass.

They can handle higher temps, but it is best to remain in the optimal range.
