    Well,I'll try to answer:
    1) Glass is easier to mantain clean and disinfected whenever you'll need it,wood would retain more humidity(humidity+heat=mold )
    2) Difficult to answer,maybe he/she's wandering searching for different temps and/or humidity...how are they?
    3) ABF is maybe one of the frogs (if not the most) "handable" (when needed of course); just take care to get him by the back and not showing your hand in his front (or,worst,dangling your fingers...but I'm sure you won't be that silly )

    1) If it is a male, it is definitely too small. Even for a female, it should be a minimum...
    2) Temps are ok.
    3) Take the frog by the back. It won't jump. Don't show your hand above or in front of the frog.

    ok, thanks for all answers but i have another question...to hold a pixie frog, is better a real terrarium (with right air circulation) or an aquarium tank is also good?

    and, does Exo terra has a good terrarium for a pixie male?

    A real terrarium would be better for air circulation;in my case,I only had an acquarium and I keep my ABF in it having an open (but meshed) lid I built by myself and the situation is not bad at all.

    The problem of Exo Terra, is that you can only put a depth of 14cm maximum of substrate, even for a 90x45x45.
    If you want your frog to estivate (2 months per year for example), and if it is a male, it will not be sufficient.
    This is why I think Exo Terra's are better if it is a female...

    i saw this exo terra 90x45x45 and it sounds good....estivation is necessary? a frog can survive good also without estivation?
