Need Frog Enclosure Input

Hi everyone! I have a few frog enclosure questions that I would love some advice on. I’ve researched some of these, but I feel like Google isn’t always the most helpful. I have an African Pixie Frog (3-4yrs, male, about 4-5 inches long).

1. Can he safely swim in a #5 PP plastic container? It holds about 4ish gallons, is about 6 inches deep. It’s FDA food safe, but not sure if it’s frog safe.
2. Does he need a mister? His tank is usually at 60% humidity and I mist it once or twice a day
3. He gets some powder supplements, but does he need a UV light?
4. Is 40 gallons big enough? He has about 3 gallons of dirt area, 6-7 inches deep.
5. What type of gloves are safe without that like powdery residue some have? I haven’t been using them, but I also rarely handle him. Regardless I want to be more careful
6. Is reptisoil/coco fiber with a false bottom a good substrate?

Any answer to any of these would be helpful!! Thank you everyone!

Anyone else struggling with the Lindsay Clancy case and the “intrusive thoughts” headlines?

**This is a criminal trial involving kids- please be mindful and skip this if it is too upsetting!**

I keep seeing articles and news outlets reporting on how this woman had “intrusive thoughts” of killing her kids, and then did just that(allegedly, could have been some involvement of the husband, but REGARDLESS that’s the media narrative).

For someone with HOCD/POCD, I‘m struggling between considering this an incorrect use of intrusive thoughts and finding it triggering (What if I’m just a psychotic episode away from acting on my intrusive thoughts- type of thing).

Anyone else heard about this/troubled by these headlines?

Thanks!
