ive drawn up the basic idea i have for a water dish and ive got most of it carved out at work just have to get the tubing and figure out what kind of grate or screen for the bottom of the pond im thinking somingthing plastic with holes in it like a kiddie pool would have anyways i digress

what do you think of my plan?

I think the floor space is too small for a pacman frog they need a 10 gal long tank. You can probably put something that would use the space better like a small tree frog.

The dimensions are just fine for an adult male or a small female. These frogs fo not need a lot of floor space. They will only use 1 or 2 areas to burrow in. They normally pick a favorite spot and stay there for days only moving after a bowel movement, to thermoregulate, or soak. I keep adult males in 12"x12"x18" terrariums and even a C. joazeirensis female in a tank of this size. They do just fine. Now for large females you want more floor space such as a 18"x18"x18" or a 10 gal long even a 20 gal long. To me a large female is 5" an up. Babies should always be kept in small enclosures until mature enough for a move to a larger enclosure.

THANKS GrifftheGreat im glad to hear the support this tank will be used for a male im thinking and untill there big enough they will be in smaller enclosures i know the tank could have been bigger but this project was sparked at work, i was playing around in the carpenters shop building frames from scrap wood in the corner when i made the bottom cover part was thinking what it could be used for and starter putting some drawing/ideas together so i used the dimentions that i already had which was 3 squares of 15"x15" with the inside measuring 12"x12"

once i drew up the sketch for the popcorn box i drew 3 differant tanks one of my 20 gallons split with a water feature in either end and a tree frog terrarium Lamp and a half barrel tank with a curved acrylic lid
once you get the mind going its hard to stop so i wasted like 10 pages of paper on tank ideas
