Western Toad Care. Advice?

[Auttie]

Okay so now that I've read through the Care Sheet here I've gotten down to buisness. My new Western Toad should be pretty happy, but I really would like some opinions from ya'll if that's ok ^^ I'll make a list of all the things I've already done for him and you guys can tell me if I'm missing anything.

1) A 10 gallon terrarium (thinking about using a taller plastic storage bin as the terrarium is not good in height)
2) Moist soil as substrate hat is, I will admit, not deep enough for burrowing (I'll need to fix that)
3) A water dish for soaking which he has already taken advantage of
4) An old lizard house for a Hide
5) Plants that he had hide in and that hold moisture well
6) I mist the tank when I see it's getting dry

So how is it? I know I have a few obvious flaws with cage height and the fact he can't burrow much, but I plan to fix that ASAP. Other than that am I missing anything? Any suggestions?

Make sure soil is free from chemicals like fertilizers or pesticides. I use shredded coco (Zoo Med's Plantation Soil).

3) A water dish for soaking which he has already taken advantage of

Ensure water is dechlorinated.

6) I mist the tank when I see it's getting dry

Toads like it drier than frogs, do not overmist.

Can't recall how big is your toad (snout to vent) so can't tell if 10 gal. is OK or not. Sounds like you are making progress !
