Other than very basic material, I'm having some difficulty getting info on their traits, diet, whether they brumate for periods of time, preferred humidity, etc.
Hi Phineas:

Yes, the book has a general description of the habits and habitat of the African red toad. These toads live in savanna and woodland areas and easily adapts to human habitation. They require deep pools for breeding and hibernate a far distance from water. Even though they have an absence of parotoid glands, they are able to secrete a toxic substance from the skin if handled too roughly. They are active at both day and night and breed during the southern spring/summer (September through March) and can be active through May, when they seek out places to hibernate. The book is designed as a field guide, but will offer insight into the species for those of us who are serious about keeping frogs.
