I would find a way to get some clean dirt without chemicals and use that as substrate rather than paper towels. Toads don't like wet conditions even the tropical kind look for dryer areas, but always are near a water source. Read the care sheet that was posted earlier in the thread and try and follow its instructions. I will suggest that you cover 3 sides of the tank with some sort of dark background. This will make him feel more secure.

If you name it Henry and it turns out to be a female just call it Henrietta.

To me, this looks like a Cane Toad (Bufo marinus). They are a species of true toad. This species is native to Central America. However, they have been introduced to many parts of the world. They are plentiful throughout most parts of Oceania. I also know of some islands in the Carribean that have Cane Toads. They are a member of the subgenus Rhinella. Their genus is Bufo. That means they are a species of true toad. Females lay single-clump spawns. They can have thousands of eggs per batch. They will consume living and dead animal matter, which is unusual among anurans.

can i offer him mealworms on the moment till i get some dubias?? he also ate ants he pounced on them crawling in their enclosure and swallowed them 1 by 1??

[Wormwood]

Ants are fine.

Most toads will eat any small insect that will fit into their mouth. For a small toad, offer 2 very small insects, 1 small slug, or 1 pinhead cricket. For a medium size toad, offer 2 small insects, 1 medium slug, or 2 small crickets per day. For a large toad offer 3 small insects, 1 large slug, or 3 small crickets per day. Most toads will only eat live insects (although I have had success feeding mine canned superworms). Only feed dead insects that you buy from a pet store that have been canned and refridgerated after opening. Toads are predators. One adult toad can eat 25 mosquitoes in one night! You want your toad to be fat. A skinny toad is a sick or starving toad. Most pet stores and bait shops sell crickets. You can purchase many at one time and keep them in a container with some apple slices to eat and egg cartons to hide in.
