Toad too fat?

She's in a 20 gallon long. I'm having a hard time keeping the humidity up, so I'm sure that could be part of it. I'm planning on making her a native vivarium sometime soon.

Try cutting holes in plaxiglass for keeping humidity

I put a bit of plastic wrap over the tank like I used to do for hermit crabs. Its worked with my tree frogs, although not that well. I guess I should add more maybe?

Plastic wrap over the metal mesh top of my tank has worked for me in the past. Why are you trying to raise the humidity though?

She loooks a bit overweight but keep in mind, aslong a you know for sure its a femal, she also could be full of eggs. Female toad tends to get real big once they are full of eggs and if you don't have a male, not much you can do. She will reabsorb all the eggs eventually.

Toad bloat themselves right up when handled too. Defense mechanism. My to tiny toads almost double in size when i handle them. Make themselves look huge! Lol

How much do you feed her? And what kind of toad is she?

I used to feed her crickets and superworms but now I'm swithcing her and all my animals over to dubia roaches. I'm trying to figure out a good feeding schedule for her. She is a Fowler's toad.

Ohhhhh! Well dear, Fowler toad tend to be on the inactive side and good eaters let's per say. Lol depending on how big she is, in the picture she looks like a full grown female of arpund 3 to 4 inches, I would feed her 3 to 4 crickets every third day or so. Toads tends to be round arpund the edge. Bony toad are of a major concern. Not so much for the round ones lol

You sure it's a female?

No. Fluffy (that's its name) is large and doesn't have a dark colored throat. But it semmed like it tried to squeak once and made a little noise, but nothing like I've heard from a male toad. It was more like a VERY quite click than a squeak.
