    I was just logging in to reply! When the page reloaded you post was already there lol. I was going to mention that I tried a heat pad side-mounted on a sterilite bin with my African Bullfrog, and while I haven't had a fire(yet), it simply doesn't heat the bin very well. That being said, I've used Sterilite bins a lot, and for large frogs and/or non-climbing frogs I've found bins are amazing. I use 90qt(20 gallons, roughly) bins for my Woodhouse's Toads, my African Bullfrog, and a smaller bin as a temporary tank for my Treefrogs.
    Monster has the heating pretty much covered, a ceramic heater or a red heat bulb should work great, especially if you use metal screen for the top(some people say plastic window screen will melt from heat emitters and heat bulbs. I personally use plastic screen and haven't had any melting problems, but you can never be too careful.)
    There's actually a sticky on modifying sterilite(or other brand) bins for use as terrariums somewhere. Came in real handy when I was trying to figure out what to use to attach the screen to the lid to cover the hole.

    Also, the divider is a really good idea for Pacman frogs!

    i just lost my pacman frog. i wonder if the ten gallon terrarium i had him in played a part. he always stayed in the left half. he was always reluctant to feed, and i would feed him in a smaller feeding container. even though he seemed just fine 24 hours prior to his death...i found him the next day in the corner, on top of the media, dried and stiff. he stopped growing two months ago as well, perhaps a clue.

    maybe i stressed the heck out of my frog without knowing it? ugh. i'm not certain i want another. why? because i'm not certain what i did wrong with my first one.
