Getting Bufo marinus and Bufo debilis tomorrow

Not a big fan of marinus, they're just to ugly for me. Debilis on the other hand, is one of my favorite Bufonid species. Thats why its my avatar.

I have to agree with Kurt on Bufo marinus - too ugly for me but very impressive animals. Look at this:



I saw my first Bufo debilis this past weekend - very active little things - they don't act like other Bufonids.



One big toad I definitely like is Bufo alvarius - they are big cute slobs.

I agree, the big toad to have is alvaria.

I'm sorry that I didn't say anything for quite some days in this topic. I bought 2 bufo debilis and a female bufo marinus. The marinus I keep in a 120-40-40 (cm) tank and the debilis in a plastic tank. I can't find how to really keep my bufo debilis. Now I just keep them on turf with some bark and leafs. In what kind of environment they trully live?
I hope you guys can help me.

I apologize for my english. I do my best, but can't garanty you guys that it's perfect.

I keep my debilis on sphagnum moss, which is kept moist but not damp. He is fed small insects like fruit flies, small crickets, and been weevils. He has a shallow water bowl and I mist him before going to bed every night. He has a hide box as well. I have had for a few years now and he is thriving.

You don't need to baby the Bufo debilis with a lot of humidity - they are from dry areas of Texas and New Mexico - prairie and semi-arid conditions. Other than that, keep them the same as other Bufo: http://www.frogforum.net/bufo-toads/...pelobates.html
