I do have that first gray one as well, but it's a snakes home. I'm pretty sure they are not cheap either? Some ridiculous price...
Yeah, I just couldn't remember. I think mine was more, idk. Is that for the older or the baby?
I've seen this, BUT Günther being as large as he is I needed a hut that he could stretch out in and this is why I bought the Large fake rock. It has a much larger interior and is as wide as it is long. It also has good height so he can sit up if he wants to, but he goes in and digs a hole.
You can place the hut on the cool side since they would seek shelter in something like this to cool off. It is ok to have the water dish on the warm side since the majority of the time the area in which they bathe is exposed to the sun. Plus water is highly resistant to heat so it won't match the ambient air temp. This is also determined by how you heat the tank.
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!
About hides, I've been using black plastic flower pots from Walmart. They're cheaper than most hides you find in pet stores and they're nice and roomy.
So I decided to remove the hideout I bought for the baby because after 10 days, I just noticed white mold accumulating inside of it so I don't think this will work out. As of now he's already making tunnels for himself alone which I'm surprised since he's really young.
Is this white mold dangerous for frogs? I guess with the humidity that I try to keep at 80%, mold was bound to happen inside a semi-ventilated hut, but is it hazardous for them? I removed all the eco earth that had white mold on it but still let me know.
I use terra Cata pots works wonderfully never molded

The white mold is harmless. It feeds of decaying organic matter.
