    I would definitely say go with multiple toads in one tank too (if it is big enough) if you want more than one in a tank. I have the 4 of mine in the tank and they seem to get along just fine, they will even eat crickets off each others' backs!
    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
    2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"

    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"

    Interesting tidbit: a group of toads is called a knot, and a group of frogs is called an army.

    Okay, that clears that up... on the same note, how about toads of different species, such as my american toad with a firebelly toad? Could I keep them in the same tank?

    Thanks

    I would guess that your firebelly would end up being a possible lunch date.

    You have to realize that you can't keep different species together in the same tank. I mentioned the toxins they secrete before. You don't know how they are going to react to each others poison and it can seriouly cause a bad situation not to mention death. The toad will eat the firebelly more than likely.

    I don't plan on keeping 2 different species in the same tank, just was wondering if it was/is possible. As for my toad eating another TOAD... I really, honestly, can't see it, it's not large enough, about the size of a plum, and that's roughly the size of the firebellys. Plus, it seems fairly timid, not that aggressive.

    Personal experience: daycamp staff were helping to collect toads for a citizen science Bd testing project. One of the staff placed a silver-dollar-size toad w/ a half-again-as-large toad in the same critter keeper. Slightly larger toad proceeds to eyeball slightly smaller toad, hop over, and gulp. Only had one toad in that container in under a minute.
