    Indeed! I covered half of it with plastic wrap when I used the above heat sources but still humidity was a problem, so far it doesn't seem too bad with the heat mat

    When you say heat mat do you mean a uth type or one you put inside the enclosure?

    added another plant and re-did it abit so to provide shade for the toad to self regulate from the UVB (that's in the mail) will probably use a larger light dome at some point too.

    Nice setup man, I think the second setup looks better with the added greenery. How big do these guys get? Cane toads can grow fairly large cant they?

    Thanks dude! They grow pretty big females upto 7" and males 6" max but I've seen larger than that in photos, I'd guesstimate my guy at around 5 inches and he's really tall when he stands up

    I thought these were the big guys just wasn't sure. And I would have to agree about seeing bigger in photos, I have seen a couple of the documentaries on how there so invasive in parts of Australia and some of these guys look bigger then 7''. Some of them look massive. I take it with them being such a invasive species and so common that a lot of these guys would be wild caught? would that be a correct assumption?
