Eqyptian toads are wonderful, very hardy - just like American toads and with beautiful yellow/green colorings. They also enjoy living in similiar conditions. I'd suggest them to any novice toad'er. I've found them at trade shows before and will only run you $10-$20 bucks. Pick up two if you can.

Stay away from Cane Toads, very skiddish. From what I've seen Roccco's are less so, but yeah.. they are eating machines.
