Hi all! I'm new to the forum, and to amphibians in general, and therefore would love a little advice from the experts on the toads I want to keep. Here's the skinny:

I have a ten gallon terrarium, vintage glass with a metal screen mesh lid. I had fish in it and they are no longer, so I really, really want to try something new. So I asked around, did some googling, and found out that Bumblebee toads are A) adorable and B) will be the most tolerant of the type of setup I have available. My apartment has no A/C, so temp control can be an issue. It reaches 90 inside my apartment some days (I generally retreat to my well shaded hammock when this happens). The tank I have, I want to set up with minimal gadgets, so humidifiers, heat lamps, mats, etc, I have to take that all into consideration. This is in part because of where I'll be putting the tank, and in part because I have limited plug space available.

I'm having trouble finding a lot of info on how to care for bumblebee toads, probably because I'm new to this and don't know what search terms to use in google. I asked the reptile specialist at my local shop about them, and he reported that they don't exist. So yeah. Won't be going there.

Anyway! I was hoping to include some live plants, dirt the tank and plant terrestrial moss (if I can source some). I'd like to know anything you all can tell me about these little guys, if you think they will be suitable to my tank (I was probably going to start with three, then get two more if the first three did well), and any specific things they'd like in a setup. I planned to find a tall, drooping grass to plant near a water dish, hopefully to provide them a pocket of moist air, decorate the tank with manzanita wood, possibly some stones, and likely plant anubias or similar plants around as waste eaters/hiding places.

So... yeah. That's all for now! I'll be checking back soon
