Bufo Punctatus - Red spotted Toad

[StephenLS]

Hi All

Rather spontaneously I've picked up a trio of the above species at the weekend with instructions to keep them at 25c and relatively dry. I'm aware they are desert dwellers but can anyone confirm exact temperature / humidity requirements please?

These have been on my want list for years now. I am not 100% sure on the humidity requirements for this species, but I am sure John can shed some light on the subject. I believe he has some field experience with this species.

This is a tough little toad - humidity isn't an issue. Just follow the toad basic care on the left. If you want to make a more arid environment for them, bear in mind that they only really come out on humid nights.

Wait aren't those guys native to the US?

[Kurt]

Yes, they are.

[Tom Highum]

are you allowed to capture them in the wild in any state?

[John]

I don't know about other states but they're not protected in Texas.
