Pacman frog help!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Newtot]

Ok so my daughter and I are wanting a pacman frog. I have a 10 gal tank with eco earth. I still need to buy a top, waterbowl, decor, vitamins,ect. My question is what type of heat should I provide? I knw most places say an UTH but when I mount these on the side of a tank it never seems to do the job. Should I buy a 10-20 gal UTH, put it on the side and then insulate the back of the UTH? Or could I use a light of some kind? Also with the ones you buy online that are like 2" how often should it be fed? I would prefer to just buy an adult. What online store is good to order from? I would hate to pay for shipping ect. only to get a sick animal! Any advice would be great! Thank You!

Try the UTH under the tank on one side, the frog will benefit more from belly heat. When I had one that was all I used. Also a UTH needs "breathing space" so it should not be covered. Most come with little rubber nubs (best way I can describe them) to lift it up to let air flow under it.
When they are small I'd feed once a day, but at work we feed the larger ones every day as well.
As for ordering online check out FaunaClassifieds Home Page or www.kingsnake.com
I'd look at fauna first and check out any sellers you are interested in in the BOI forum, it's a feedback forum so you can know if the person you're dealing with has had any issues with people in the past.
Otherwise I would like to recommend looking for any reptile expos in your area and check there.
