I finally got my toad!! meet Monster

[MaxVanity]

I'm a major first timer so I only got one for now but here he is I named him Monster



I didn't keep him in that tiny tank you see him in that was only temporary. It was very late when I got home and I was too tired to get him set up in the 10 gal so I kept him in the 2 gal over night. He's now in a 10 gal tank!

Some questions that I have..

He's doing fine alone do I absolutely have to get him a buddy or will he still get depressed?
How often do I have to feed him? I'm being told 2 different things..
I was first told 3 small crickets 3 times a week and then i was told 5 large crickets everyday..

My room upstairs gets very hot and I have the heater set to 75 degrees but it never kicks on because the temperature on the thermometer is always telling me it's 80 degrees is that too hot? if so what can I do to cool it off?

Is it true they can choke on aquarium gravel? >.>

I currently have:
Heater
Filter
Aquarium gravel for substrate
A log fish decor for an island (i'll be getting a bigger one this weekend)

What else could I get him to make him comfortable?

Sorry for all of the questions I'm just really excited and nervous at the same time >.<

Personally i keep my fbts in a tank split with plexiglass with coco fiber and moss on the land side. They seem to like it allot . One of my toads name is monster too by the way

Oh yes what I was going to do is make an island area and have the land slope downward into a water area . Then I would put maybe a rock or something in the water and maybe a little hidey log on the island. I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing with the tank yet but I am looking at photos of other tanks and putting my imagination to work lol. Monster ended up coming to me a bit too soon but I am keeping him comfortable while I organize everything the way I want it .

Heres my 20 gallon setup . A little more tricky but I really like it

[MaxVanity]

Lol yeah i'm really not that crafty xD i don't want to have to divide the tank. What I've thought about doing is getting maybe a ceramic or plastic dog bowl and putting it as like a little "pool" then putting substrate around it. Like an in-ground pool

Very nice, how old is he? Yes they can choke one graver but I feed them is the water so they don't choke. Good luck
