    Question Friend or Foe?

    I have 3 American Toads (or so i think) - I will be relocating them from a 10gal to a 20long soon. I am curious to know if they'd be able to have any tank mates, say a lizard/gecko/chameleon/hermit crab or something of the sort??

    No they cannot. American Toads are toxin and the water source wouldn't be able to be shared with another animal; not to mention the other various bacteria or parasites the toad "might" have. I learned the hard way myself by mixing two toad species together and it ended up with a good loss of amphibian life.

    The same goes with putting them with other animals. Don't do it.

    yea, i guess i kinda knew the answer already, but was hoping someone would know of some other creature that it could co-exist with.....oh well, they are quite the charmers by themselves and i'm lucky to have them as it is

    thanks for the info!!
