Pixie passed way !

Having a cool side is good this way he can thermoregulate his body temps. My tanks are 82f on the warm and 79f on the cool, I know it doesn't seem like much but it makes a difference to them. If that's all he you get though they also burrow to do the same thing, all my guys spend more time burrowed on the cool side most the time. For the water bowl I do the same as you and put it right smack dab in the middle, this way when they cross from side to side they have no choice to go through the water. The will usually stop and sit for awhile once they hit it too, or they will take a huge dump in it for me to clean. For placing it I would place it on the cool side or closer to the cool side if possible, but to be honest some place on it the cool end and some on the warm.

Thanks for the answer Monster, so with the door open i only have a difference of 1,2°C , but the plastic container inside plays a role in this insulation... The full terrarium has a difference of the same about you, but i can't manage that with the plastic box for the babies.
Tomorrow i will get a juvenile that i saw today at the pet shop. I did not like the looks of the ornata, and this one is bigger already.
Whats the correct procedure to adopt?
2 days without eating when he arrives?

[monster]

I would ask them when the last he ate was, if it was the day before I would just leave him. Juveniles are only supposed to eat every other day to every third day. They will eat bigger meals so they need at least one day in between feedings to digest. If he hasn’t eaten in a couple days there is no harm in offering him food but that’s all interaction he should get for the first couple days, if he doesn’t eat don’t stress he is just settling in to his new surroundings. Ask them when he pooped last too, if he hasn’t went in awhile after giving him a few days to destress you could give him a a warm bath to see if he goes before feeding him.

Thanks pall, will do Now, when you mean don't stress him, i guess i will change the water and everything still as long as the frog isn't in the way? Or should i not touch the water for those few days?
He comes from the US, captivity breed and is a regular green hornated frog.
As i mentioned, i didn't like the way the ornata looks, too much of a baby, smaller than the last one.
I called him to reserve me the green big one. Althought they're in 20cms water containers, not sure if it's normal.
The small box i got this time is 38cmsx29cmsx15cm, a little bigger than the last one, i guess it should be fine since he's bigger? He has the same kind of setup, but a little bit more space to move. Water in the cold side and the ecoearth is in place.
I'll give you some news tomorrow when i get the new guy

Ya change the water like you would normally do, what I mean by don’t stress him is after he,s in the enclosure just leave him be. Don’t be hanging around and checking on him every half hour, and if he doesn’t want to eat for the first few days don’t stress and think you have to keep trying till does eat. Not saying this is what you will do but this what people mean by don’t stress the frog out. Some people try to keep them in just water but it’s not good for there back legs, after a while they end up haveing serious issues with the legs. I even seen on an old thread That a breeder from the US even said that it isn’t recommended to keep them that way.

[froghub]

Okay so, Pixie used to hang a lot in the water. Not sure why, but he went to the pool a lot.
Maybe cause the guys kept them in water. Who knows.
Maybe the legs not working and being red were a cause from that.
Lets see this ones. At least i'm sure they arrived no longer than one week ago. I went for cricket and there were 0 pacman frogs last week. Now they have at least 20. I hope he'll do better.
Thanks Monster i'll keep you informed when i get the big guy tomorrow.
About the hot and cold sides, should i get a mini fan in the cool side maybe?
Cause i feel the diference of 1,2°C is not a lot for those guys.
About the hidding spot is in the hot side, and the pool is in the cold side this time.
Ps: When you spray the terrarium, do you spray the frog himself normally or just the substrate? I try to avoid the frog, but not sure of this.

[monster]

If you put a fan you may lose heat on the warm side to, and you will fight with humidity I would think. When you spray the tank don't spray him directly because he will more then likely not like that very much. When spraying you don't even need to spray the substrate everytime, just if it feels or is starting to look dry. I usually just spray the plants and the walls and the substrate every couple days. Towards the end of the month you may have to spray the ground a little more often but that's also a good sign its time for a substrate change. If you spray the ground everytime you mist you will end up with soaking wet substrate within no time at all. Remember you just want the substrate damp not dripping wet.
