These two articles should help: http://srelherp.uga.edu/anurans/bufame.htm http://srelherp.uga.edu/anurans/buffow.htm and this should help with care, A. americanus and A.fowleri have very similar care requirements and behaviors, it only matters if you want certain colors. Here are those care-sheets: http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Frog...ding-And-Care/ http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/natu...-fowlers-toad/

American toads are not often CB, it's the same with Hyla cinerea, (The Green tree-frog) or Lithobates catesbeianus. (American bullfrog) Here's one I could find: http://www.carolina.com/toads/small-...of-3/146760.pr And room temperature (70-75 degrees) with some UVB should be find, you can ask me or other members any time if you have any questions or need help

hmm i just read the permits thingy and i think ill go with a group of americans and fowlers toad. Just because they dont need permits. Just wish i could buy toadlets(1.5-2inches) so i can be sure they're young. I wanna buy them because should the authorities find out i didnt buy them properly... I dont want to even see their faces at my door. That being said are there other reputable sites that legally sell toads? I am thinking of getting all females so i am not kept up at night with all their calling. Is uvb really required for them? Maybe thats what did it. If and when i do get them. I plan on taking them to a vet so they can clear them of any parasites they may hold... What would be a good way to keep their habitat at 72-75 degrees? I want something you can control in the heat output. Also heard they love moths. Where can i buy moths as treats? How much would i spend at the vet?(so i can set money aside) would a tank thats 36inch long x 18 inch wide and 18inch or higher hold how many toads?

UVB is essentially a way to make sure they can produce their own calcium and necessities for their bones, you could supply calcium dust, but it's easier to get a UVB bulb every 6 months than to dust their food twice a week or so. I doubt it was parasites, under right conditions, they don't die from them unless their immune system is lowered in some way. (Fighting off an illness for example) Any description of what happened?

They were eating and acting fine... Until one day they just died... I didnt exactly happened to see them die.

Well if you need to make sure that it stays around the mid 70 degree range, lighting would help, (With temperature and UVB) as would a under tank heating mat. I'd also put some live plants in their tank so it holds humidity and they don't get stressed. Wax-worms are a moth larva if you can find them, but most moths and their relatives are high in fat, so only feed them occasionally

This is the only other place I could find that sells them, but they are sadly out of stock: http://www.reptilesncritters.com/american-toads.html You could make a reminder to automatically update you if they get some in stock. You could also try putting a wanted add here and on Kingsnake.com: http://market.kingsnake.com/

Would they be happy eating their larva or is it not the same? I wouldn't feed it often moths just as a treat.
