I cool my animals in my boyfriend's basement because it is unheated and stays pretty cold during the winter.

I cool my animals in my boyfriend's basement because it is unheated and stays pretty cold during the winter.
I have 2 females since 1 month and they are very funny.
Be careful about humidity : as a lot of toads, it is much more safe to make a "dry" enclosure, with dry coco fiber for example.
You can make 1 or 2 wet hidding places and some dry hidding places. Of course, a water bowl with dechlorinated water is necessary.
A whole wet substrate can make them sick with mycosis.
Global view of the enclosure : as you can see, the coco fiber is 100% dry, except on the right side where I wet teh substrate (Under the fake plants).
Both hidding places are dry (Behind the wood bark and behind the little wood tunnel)

Thanks for the tips
Do they have a Brumation period in the wild?
Oh my Sophie, he is absolutely gorgeous
I tried breeding these...it didn't work out :/
I'm currently trying to breed alvarius. I think they are just very sensitive to light, humidity, temp, etc. Personally, I think a lot of bufo toads need an extreme hibernation period. I know Colorado River Toads are underground for most of the year, and I'd assume the same is for Western Green Toads. It takes some experimentation, but unfortunately this involves quite a bit of risk to the toads. What people need to do is to experiment with some common toads, like American Toads.

What are their personalities like. Are they nocturnal, do they like to hide alot?
