Default African bull frog

Hi . Can any owner of these please tell me the size of tank you keep them in. Im thinking of getting one but im confused by the caresheets. Some say inactive so a large tank is not required and others say provide large tank I was thinking of using something like the 60x45x45 exo terra glass vivs or would i be better with a top opening tank?

I cant see any on there for sale but if I cant find any nearby I will get in contact with them Thanks.

Can anyone still answer my question to save me emailing around. I idealy want to hear from keepers of these for ideas on viv sizes and design to see what works best

Thanks.

I think they should be pretty happy in one of those exo terras, we have one at uni and they dont seem to move much, I cant imagine they need a very large tank.
I reckon the tank at uni is about 18" x12" x12". The tank is top opening but since theyre not quick movers I dont think a front opening viv would be a problem, its not going to leap out at you

Dont know much else about them sorry
