    I agree with Kurt and Justin. Those are nice toads, btw. Once they settle in, you shoud try getting them to accept food from your fingers. I love toads, and they make great pets.

    Wow, looks nice with some live plants and eco earth. Btw, those aren't pothos. The plants you have are Dieffenbachias, also known as "Dumb Cane". Pothos are in the same family as Dieffenbachias, but with a major difference. Pothos are vining plants with heart-shaped leaves, and Dieffenbachias are also classified as "false palm trees". In normal house conditions, dumb canes usually grow slow. But get them into a humid green house, and they grow very fast and very tall. There are some that stay small, but even these reach about 4' tall in a green house.
    Unfortunately, they are also very toxic. I don't know if the sap would harm or kill a frog if absorbed through the skin. Dieffenbachias are called dumb canes because the sap has alkaloids, that if injested by pets or humans will cause the throat to swell up and the vocal chords to be inflamed for several days. This, on the mild side makes you unable to speak untill the inflamation to go away or lessen slightly. On the strong side, this can cause trouble breathing and or swallowing.
    As I stated, I don't know how the sap affects amphibians, but it's worth checking into. Pothos vines have similar compounds, but they only usually cause burning sensations in the mouth.
    I'm not telling you to not use these plants, but they will grow fast, and take up a lot of space. The sap's effects on amphibians is not known to me, but I'll do some research for curiositie's sake.

    If the plant oozes sap then by all means get rid of it, because it will poison your frogs. Remember amphibians absorb water through their skin, which means they can also absorb toxins as well. Their skin will not keep them out.
