Is this tank: http://www.petsmart.com/reptile/terr...pfm%3Dcategory (10 gallon version) okay for this frog's entire life-span? http://www.lllreptile.com/products/2...-pac-man-frogs

So the pacman in the picture is an albino C. cranwelli. The tank says it is 5.5 us gallons, you would need at least a ten. At the size they are at if you get the 10 for abit more money and split it that leaves them with each 5 gallons and they will be good in there for at least for a couple more months if they are only 1 1/2 inches. Then in a couple months you can purchase another one and give them there own tank. In that time you could probably find a cheap second hand one somewhere for like $5 to $10 bucks. If you choose to do a split just make sure again that what ever you use as a divider that you cant see threw at all. The divider doesn't just play the part of referee for fights but also if they see each other it may stress them out, and if they get really stressed it really lowers there immune system making them acceptable to all sorts of other problems. And really all you need for them in there enclosure if you go with a split ten is small water dish big enough for him to turn in and maybe a small silk plant or something for him to hide under and get out of they the light if he wants to. And no moss because these guys don't have the best aim and the moss if digested is a huge impaction risk. Hope I was able to help you abit.

They sell two sizes on that page (5.5 gallons and 10 gallons), which are currently the same price. And I will only by one frog, because having two in one tank sound like more trouble than it is worth. In my last post I was asking if the albino C. cranwelli. would be able to fit in the 10 gallon tank for it's entire life. Thank you, by the way, for all the information.

Ya it could live in there its whole life if its a male forsure, most male Cranwellis max out at about 4 inches. If its a female they grow abit bigger and could probably live in one but I would get a 20 gallon in the future if its female. I think it would be the right thing to do if it ended up being female but again a lot of people just stick with the ten. Even with the one frog you could still put the divider in to make it a 5 for him for the time being because in a lot of cases that amount of space stresses the little guys out then they don't want to eat for you or they bury themselves to feel secure and wont come back out till you dig him up. Again in a few months when its bigger just pull the divider out and you got your 10 back. A lot of people keep babies in a medium size critter keeper for the first couple months thats how little of room they will use.

Thanks, that sounds like a fine idea. Could I just use a piece of cardboard as the divider?

[monster]

I would use something plastic or glass, or even plexi glass. with all the humidity and and misting you would be changing that piece of cardboard everyday if not a couple times a day.

Okay, thank you.
