    Here's a picture of what I had her on before. A twenty gallon long set up I used the same heater and had that filter and a water pump under the land to keep the water flowing. Reused most of everything except the filter. Needed more hydroballs and gravel. Added more plants. Name:  IMG_20170926_222134.jpg

    That's an awesome setup too! What kind of lighting do you have over her land area??

    My guy doesn't have a very deep pool... maybe that would help.

    oh and another question -- how often are you changing or cleaning her eco carpet?

    Eco carpet maybe once a month. I sectioned off the standard 20 gallon long size into three equal sections. Everytime I'd out new moss down I'd pop out the old carpet, get as much moss off as I could, spray it with the suggested cleaning spray (Wipe out? It's on the package of the eco-carpet) and let it sit to dry. After it was dried off I'd rinse it off in tap water, wring it out, and then rinsed it again in dechlorinated water, and wring it out again.
    The new eco-carpet I'm using for the 40 gallon wasn't as good of a fit, but I found out she prefers to have access to the gravel as well and burrow into it. Well more make a frog sized depression, but she thinks she's being sneaky
    For lighting she was under a daylight heat bulb and tropical uva (it came with the combo mini dome light kit I got when she just finished morphing from a tadpole, she seemed to do fine and I figured this kit was more appropriate than the desert heating kits. IIRC I since replaced the blue daylight with a basking bulb (had a freebee from a friend. She seems to prefer that.
    The other side is a standard aquarium light for plants

    Thank you, Magoop! Super helpful! I had tried the eco carpet a while back, when trying to figure out the easiest way to keep everything clean, but he wouldn't go near it. He would look at it, but not step on it, so I put it away. He like to burrow in his pothos roots, but the gravel I'm using now is too big for him to get too cozy in.

    Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. These leopard frogs are so cool and I want to do everything possible to make mine comfy and happy (well, as happy as one can be living in a glass box.... <3
