Pixie Frog Questions

[Jfitz]

Thinking about getting a Pixie Frog...

Just wondering what the best substrate would be.

If more that none can live with each other at a time, and if so how many in a 20 Gal.

If they need any special lighting.

And Ideal Temperature for one.

Thanks

Coco mulch, EcoEarth, Bed-a-beast for substrate. No special lighting required.Only house one per tank. I keep my pixie's temperature in the mid 80's on one end and the other I keep in the mid 70's.

You don't necessarily have to feed it mice all the time. Does she have a problem with frozen mice as well? Crickets and worms are good. I use Eco-Earth for mine. He's about 7"

I rarely feed mine mice. My girl stays on crickets, nightcrawlers, and the occasional fish. She only gets mice maybe three or four times a year...

with all of the above, 74 to 84 degs, Worms, bugs, lights don't matter, 20L is best, large water dish, keep it clean, no tap water

I use tap water, but I am on well water

Me too. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with city water. That would make water changes just a little bit more of a PITA.
