Finding the Oak Toad (Bufo quercicus)

I would go higher than that since once you add substrate and decor they'll climb out unless you plan on putting some kind of wire lid on this. I would recommend a 3 (male) to 7 (female) ratio on this kind of set up.

There will be a lid over the whole thing, there are cats in the house so it's would be necessary regardless of height.

If there's a solid like, just make sure you have enough ventilation then. B quercicus

I should explain things better. I'll be using the same hard plastic lids that come with the totes but I'll put holes in them covered with aluminium wire.

What do you think about using bio active soil with them? I'd like to have something that can maintain itself for the most part. I've also had the though of adding a shallow water area with a filter.

If you're looking to do a planted tank for them, take in to consideration that they WILL dig up your plants. I have a few and sure enough, they dig them up at least once a week. Also you'll need to layer your base. I have a 40 gallon breeder tank that's bee going for two year now. It's layered as such. 2 inch hydroball, then a piece of screening material, then a layer of activated charcoal, then a piece of screening material, then about 4 inch of a mixture of eco earth and organic soil. There are a few spots of live moss they pretty much leave that along since I've got several pieces of cork bark for them to hide in and under. Every 6 months I take out the cork bark and decor and turn the soil just to make sure all is well in the viv. I also have spring tails and pill bugs to help maintain it. This is why I mentioned about going taller.

Okay, I'm looking into another option that is taller, somewhere between 18"-20" tall instead of 12".

Well, I sent an email to John at Exotic Oddities last Friday, unfortunately I have not heard anything back. I'll try again this Monday, hopefully he replies if not I'll have to continue my search of finding a seller.
