Toads are nocturnal creatures. You can even tell by their eyes, its made for night time.
The night vision goggles was a joke. :/
I learn on my own, and on what I read, what I consulted with other people who keep toads. Toads arent "tame" animals, they are wild animals. Reasons why your toad maybe active during daylight hours is because you may have the lights on constantly. Or entice it with foods. Again generally toads are skittish, nocturnal animals.
