Finding the Oak Toad (Bufo quercicus)

[Hellsrage]

You could put 10 together with enough space and enough hiding places and diligent maintenance. For that though I'd go with a 75 gallon. If you got two 40 gallon breeder tanks you could split them up into two groups of 5. If you went with 20 gallon longs I would put no more than three in each. Err on the side of more space, not squeezing them in.

When you get them please post pics of the little guys and tell of your experience with Exotic Oddities. I'm curious about both.

Alright that gives me some sizes to work with, thank you!

I will definitely take pictures and post them, I really need to put some money towards a decent camera someday. I'll write up a review when I order from him.

I agree with the tank sizes on this post. And once the sex is determined you can divide them up accordingly then. You don't want to have several males bombarding one female. But then having one big tank with 10 toads would be fun to watch during feeding time.

Ideally I'd like to keep them all in one large enclosure, or at least attempt it and adjust as needed. From what I've read they are fairly easy to sex, so perhaps I may be able to order by sex. If this does turn out to be the case (I'll have to email him to check) what would be a proper mix of male to female?


For the enclosure I'm thinking about using plastic totes instead of buying a large heavy glass tank. This is the tote I'm planning on using Sterilite ClearView Latch Box 110qt, it's dimensions are 34"L x 18"W x 12"H. Clearly this wont due for all 10 so I'm thinking I'll buy 2 and splice them together I could even make it larger using acrylic sheets if I so desired. But I think 2 of these spliced together should give them plenty of room. There is 2 ways I can go about this, I can make it longer or wider, which do you think would make for happier toads?

• Dimensions if I made it longer: 69"L x 18"W x 12"H
• Dimensions if I made it wider: 37"L x 34"W x 12"H

What do you think?
