    I really like plastic tubs/bins for terrestrial frogs and toads, actually. Especially for species that require high humidity. You can just cut a hole around half the size of the top in the bin top and then hot glue some screen across. I find a bin set up that way keeps humidity pretty well. There's actually a guide on here about making sterilite bin terreriums, I can dig it up later and link it if you're interested, but it's probably unnecessary.

    That's what I'm thinking. You know those plastic drawer stacks they sell at Walmart? I have heavy duty individual ones that stack together. Good dimensions too. They fit right on the shelves below my snake rack.

    Just remember if your going to do plastic bins especially a rack system you will need a safe way to heat the frog. They need temps in the low to mid 80's, if they aren't kept at the proper temps they can become ill with some serious health issues. I know this from experience because I was told when I got my first pacman frog ever I was told room temps were fine and that's what he was being kept at in the store. Even though I did some research and put his temps to where they were supposed to be within the first couple weeks the frog already had edema due to kidney from being in to cold of temps at the store and ended up passing.

    I was thinking of using a lamp actually. I can clip it to the rack and adjust it to get stable day temps and then move it off center for night temps. My room is kept at 75 with a humidity of 55 to start. Makes keeping reptiles a bit easier. I use digital thermometer/hygrometers
