New Toad!!!!

[TrymNois]

So here is my new toad. It is a female American Toad. She is about 2-2.5 inches big. Her name is Bailey. She is sharing an enclosure with Zalt. She is lighter than Zalt, and has rod dots all over her.

You too? I got a new one today as well. Did you find her outside? It might be a good idea to keep them separated til you're sure Bailey is healthy. My new girl was someone's pet and she seems totally healthy, so I want to put them together so badly (they met, only briefly), but I'm waiting just to be sure. How big is Zalt?

Nice looking toad you got there. You'll need a bigger soaking dish for them. They should be able to get at least half their back submerged in the water.

Zalt is about 1-1 1/4 inches big, and i know that i need a new water dish. And i found her outside. I am have trouble find one big enough without being too big for the enclosure.

Walmart has metal cat food bowls that are $1-$2. Easy to clean and perfect sizes for 1 or 2 toads. Both of these gals are about 3in long to give you an idea of the size. Metal or ceramic cat/dog dishes are best and cheaper than ones meant for reptiles/frogs. If one of these doesn't fit well in tank, you might need a bigger set-up. Clear plastic totes make pretty decent homes. You can go large for not a lot of money.
That's kind of a big size difference. I've read the larger toad could hog all the food. I guess just watch to make sure Zalt gets her fill.

Thanks ill have to pick one up. I am using an a plastic container that's a bit bigger than a plastic butter container. And i put the food right in front of them and make sure they are both getting the same amount and Bailey is not eating all the food.(I give Bailey a bit more cause she's bigger) And i have the room for a big container, but the way i have things setup i would have to change it around and i don't want to. They are in a 20 gallon tank.
