Toad too fat?

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.

If she starts getting lethargic then maybe give a little less food, but keep in mind, a fat toad is a happy toad!
It does look like she is a female, like MariePey said she could be full of eggs. And sometimes a female (very rarely but possible) can make noise.

Fluffy passed away last night. The humidity and substrate weren't nearly as moist as I thought and she was dehydrated. I feel horrible since I could have so easily prevented this, and I loved my fat fluffy baby. I can't believe how bad messed up...
