I just got a pixie frog baby :) this is the best set up I’ve seen thanks for the ideas! I love the filter substrate for the water. I’m home everyday now so just changing the water whenever it’s dirty. When he’s bigger I’ll be getting a 36/18 just like this and probably mocking a lot of what you did here :)
Hey i love the video you definitely have the what seems to be the most experience of anyone else here on youtube... i was wondering if you changed anything about the setup since you recorded. Anyway i was wondering if you could let me know because im thinking about rescuing one of these frogs and im not sure what to expect
Getting a pixie next week. I was told that direct light or a light heat source is not recommended because of the humidity, soil dampness, and prolonged exposure to the frog's skin. What is your take on this. Just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
Absolutely brilliant set up..very impressed. Seriously been thinking about getting a pixie frog for a while now. .should I go ahead then just want to provide the best possible home ..Seymour looks well happy in there..Just love those Exoterra tanks!!
Does he defecate in the water? Mine will only go in his water dish and not in his substrate. I want this set up but am worried about how to get a filter or pump for the waste as well. Something that will be able to flush it out or handle the bio load from him.
Very creative and well thought out structure you've built. I see your pixie is a male. I, too, wanted a male but mine is a female and I love her; she ain't going anywhere! I am searching for a male, however. How did you get a male? Was it just by chance?
How exactly does treating pads with beneficial bacteria work. I can’t seem to find much on the topic. Also can you do or at least state your one year later thoughts on the setup and if you thought of ways to improve it.
The bacteria works the same as it would in a fish tank (www.aquariumcarebasics.com/aquarium-water-quality/good-bacteria/). And I'm still happy with the tank. I can't think of anything else I'd do differently at this point. The setup is working really well. I replace the filter pads every few months.
Where did you get your Pixie Frog? I've been looking for a while and no one has them. I'm hesitant to order online because its so hot out right now. Thanks!
This is the most water I've seen for a Pixie Frog setup. Does he like it, or go into the water area a lot? This is a very awesome setup and basically the one I've had in my head for a while now for my American Bullfrog except better. This is exactly what I want for her! I've got a new Pixie too.
I use a ceramic heat emitter for night during the winter. The other light is a deep dome basking lamp with a 75 watt basking bulb. The UVB lamp just uses a reptisun bulb.
Max Spurck yea they’re pretty easy to care for but males are double the size of females and need to eat a lot so feeding them could be pretty expensive. Most people wouldn’t want to spend too much money on their first frog
Daym bro that's like a mansion in the frog world, great job, I love the set up!!
Thats small the minimul size is 40 gallons for them so a 40 gallon is small still
this was 3 years ago but he could have made it a bit bigger, its still a quality set up tho
super neat set up

Excellent breakdown!!
really wish you linked your filters and all that bellow

the filter as a substrate is genius

Because I have a fully aquatic side, it's not that big of a deal. He gets to decide when to bask, soak, etc. He has options :)
That frog has pure luxury
Nice exoterra terrarium and setup.
Nice job man.

Thought seymour was a rock at first
awesome set up cool frog :)
I love this. I just did something similar. How are you cleaning out the ecoearth he drags into the water?
Just got a baby pixie. I love this! Thank you! What’s the best baby set up?
Looks more like 65% water 35% land
How much did this set up cost if you dont mind telling me
What kind of pebbles did you put in there bro?
Does he defecate in the water? Mine will only go in his water dish and not in his substrate. I want this set up but am worried about how to get a filter or pump for the waste as well. Something that will be able to flush it out or handle the bio load from him.
Can I use this setup in a ten gallon tank for a southern chorus frog

It was totally chance. I got him as a baby and just got lucky!
I live in Houston and I called s&s exotics till they had juveniles 1 male 1 female paid 100 instead of 35 for a baby
Your setup is fine.. Although am leaning towards trickle filters than pain in the neck canisters but ok..
The canister was the only filter that would suck up most of the waste. He's a big frog and makes a mess.
How exactly does treating pads with beneficial bacteria work. I can’t seem to find much on the topic.

Genius

What temp do you keep your tank at and the water at, how often do you feed. Will the silicone harm the frog?
Andres Fierro
No, silicone is the sealing in the corners and edges of fish tanks
The water temp stays around 78 degrees
i like his name

Jesse Hutton he loves the water and hangs out in there for hours.
That's awesome! I can't wait to get a setup like yours.
WHAT KIND OF 2 LIGHTS DO YOU USE FOR YOUR PIXIE FROG TANK
I use a ceramic heat emitter for night during the winter. The other light is a deep dome basking lamp with a 75 watt basking bulb. The UVB lamp just uses a reptisun bulb.
What should I feed a baby pixie frog and when. Then when It is full grown what should I feed.
Insects should comprise the bulk of their diet throughout their life, but as an adult, I'll give him a mouse every few months as well.
How many watts is the basking bulb.? Thx
What kind of media do u use for canister filter
👍👍👍👍
What length does your tank have?
Do you think a starter could keep a Pixie frog?
Max Spurck yea they’re pretty easy to care for but males are double the size of females and need to eat a lot so feeding them could be pretty expensive. Most people wouldn’t want to spend too much money on their first frog
I breed Dubia roaches. It definitely keeps the cost of feeding extremely low, although it take a while to get a Dubia colony established.
What are the wattage of the bulbs and heat tape?
The heat tape stays at 90 degrees and the wattage for the basking bulb is 75 watts.
Where do I get those dividers
I bought a pane of glass from Home Depot and cut it myself. I used the silicone to keep it in place and water tight.
Can you sell me this or one like it
He should sell kits or hits with everything but the tank
