Hi there! i'm a soon to be new pacman owner (as of this coming tuesday). I have joined a few Facebook pages but i'm getting mixed info! I am planning to put him in a 10 gal tank about 4 inches eco earth substrate. Use a tupperware container (short and wide) dug into the substrate so he can get into it. (will be be able to get out if the sides are slick? should i look for something with traction?) I use spring water.
Okay so humidity at 75% now below 60 or above 80? I also plan to have his UTH on the back side with the edges of the UTH matched up with the lower edges of the tank; attached to a villa thermostat. I plan to put the probe from the thermostat into the tank, down about half way in the substrate.

now feeding, do you hand(tong) feed? how often? i'v been told my guy is about 2 years approx. by mike matson (though the frog i'm purchasing is not coming from him) how much do you feed? do you leave it in? do you mist daily? I know i need to get a thermometer/hydrometer reader (electronic) which do you recommend and how do you place it?

Do i need any other heat source? i've been told no, only UTH and placed to the side of the tank since pacs can't feel heat on their belly.. The person i talked to who seemed super helpful said she uses ceramic heat as well as uth on the side but only because her tank is bioactive and has thicker substrate but the heat alone from UTH was not enough.

how often do i need to dust with calcium with D3 and multivitamins? I use the brand REP CAL for both. I read once a week and then to feed every other day? I plan to get some red wrigglers/ night crawlers as a staple.


anything else?
