Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I had the problem of my pyxie digging the plants up too even when I had them in a separate container! But right now I have a plant that I don't know the name of, but it's not much. I'll send a pic later. I found out that my frog likes his heating pad region which is the area he likes to dig up, so I decided to have the plant away from this area.

He was shipped to me that way when he was quarter size. So he was either born like that or pet store damage or shipping damage (or something I haven't thought of). I think he was born like that. It doesn't seem to affect him at all. Compared to some of my other frogs hes a good shot.

He definitely looks like he is a healthy one!!! I tried that coca/earth bedding as well. as you can see it always got stuck all over him, that was the biggest reason i went to the moss. That bedding does hold moisture very well though, as is very easy for them to dig down in and bury themselves. what is the object to the right side of the picture of him?

Introducing "Herman" my frog buddy!!! I don't know proper terminology but do know that he "morphed" into frog in Feb. from tadpole status. I purchased him in April and I'd say he's nearly doubled in size in the last two months.
I've noted that he prefers to huddle in spot over his heat mat also and will try a pothos at the opposite end of his tank. I grow Pothos around here like weeds for my snakes so a little torn up plant won't hurt my feelings too much. So long as they won't hurt him I'll give it a shot and see.
I have heard that these guys will just "sit" and be slugs in their tanks so I think it may give him something to do when he's just hanging around. Pothos playground! Yeah right!! LOL So far he's pretty active..... and feeding time is a riot!!

Its a turtle dock staircase thing that leads to a platform - to the right of him. thats his favorite corner, he likes confined spaces. He will dig in and puff himself up, to wedge himself with his back in the corner.

I think that Pixies appeal more to people like myself just wanting to own a "pet" frog over some of the more rare, small or sensitive to keep species. I've had my eyes on some of the Dendrobates for awhile but I'm pretty interactive with my animals and know that would not have been a good match for them.
I really wanted a "show and tell" frog that I could haul around with me to various educational programs and displays from time to tim. I just know how much more impressed children will be by a huge ole bullfrog over a much rarer, smaller frog too.
LOL, I went to local reptile show and as I walked out the door I swore to my husband that I would NOT bring home any more snakes. When I walked in the door he shook his head and said "Next time I'll just make sure you promise to not bring home live animals!!" Now he enjoys him just as much as I do!! Hmmm, how did I know that would happen !

Hey one thing I noticed is that all our pyxies are males, or so I think. Does anyone find this weird? I mean, where are all the ladies at? I'm really interested in a breeding project, but of course, I need a female.
I'm also noticing that the ecoearth/bedabeast dries easily on my frog back area and I don't like it happening, so I usually spray his back clean when he gets dirty. Anyway, I would seriously think about using moss if I didn't know that crickets would just bury in it right away. How deep is the moss in your tank and what kind of moss is it?
