This is what I was taking as law when it comes to caring for these toads: (credit to Josh's Frogs site for the quote)
"Temperature and Humidity Requirements of Bumble Bee Toads
Due to the environment form which they inhabit in Paraguay, bumble bee toads can tolerate a wide temperature and humidity range. The secret to keeping your bumble bee toads happy and healthy is to avoid the extremes. Bumble bee toads can tolerate temperatures from 40F to over 90F, but ideally are kept at about room temperature, in the low 70s. In the wild, precipitation and humidity fluctuates widely based on season. Bumble bee toads can handle a wide range of humidity levels, but cannot tolerate a humidity level over 70% or so indefinitely – this has done many a bumble bee toad in. Aim for a humidity level of 50-60%. Routine spraying and a full screen top will aid in providing proper humidity levels. It is important to check the temperature and humidity often, with use of a thermometer and/or hygrometer."
I would say that about 99% of the time, my apartment is within their optimal range, with the rest of the time being in their tolerable range when it comes to temperature. I'm more concerned about humidity, but I think that's something I'll have to learn as I go. I'm going to get a hygrometer type thing before I get the toads, so I'll be able to monitor humidity levels as I get the tank set up. For those who are familiar with the area, I live in San Diego, up in the mountains. Humidity ranges from very dry to what we arid climate dwellers consider completely intolerable. Do I know the actual numbers? No I do not, but I'm sure I can find out.
Also I just realized I never said THANK YOU for the welcomes!
