    10G is too big for most Pacman under 3 in. My recommendation is to get the 10 gal. stable in regards to temperature and humidity; but empty. Also, cover 3 sides of it with any background you like to reduce frog's stress.

    Once frog arrives; you can easily grab a small to medium size plastic critter keeper that fits inside the 10G at Petco (width or smaller dimension should be around 3X frogs length). Also get a ramped water dish that will fit frog (around 2X the frog diameter) and a small silk plant that will fit in critter keeper.

    When you get home prepare the EcoEarth or Plantation Soil with dechlorinated tap (until slightly moist and clumps in fist but does not drip water out) and add 1 in. to critter keeper; fill the water dish with dechlorinated tap, rinse and locate the plant, and transfer frog gently to new home. Then place the whole critter keeper in the 10 G. Once frog reaches 3-3.5 in. snout to vent, prepare the inside of the 10G in the same way and transfer frog to it Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
