Keeping Pyxies in a Rack

[Kevin1]

I've heard that you shouldn't use under tank heat since these are burrowing frogs. Heat from the bottom is just not natural to them. They go down to avoid extremes(including heat). I would suggest back heat. I know a guy on another forum who uses racks for his horned frogs. I believe he heats the room there in to provide the proper ambient temperatures.

Hey Kevin,

I would agree with you as far as natural heating goes, it would be from the top. But the soil would be warmed from the sun. I have had great success with keeping a heating pad on low under the earth end of the tank. The other end is a pool of water. I use fluorescent lights that really do not provide any heat at all. So, I have compromised on delivering heat. They grow and digest.

It works for me.
