Where to buy toads?

[Greatballzofire]

I like my California toads. They are probably more like American toads than anything else. Every morning when I change their water there is one who leaps right in the fresh water as I pour it into the bowl; Like I want to be first before the other guys dirty it up!

Guess what you guys? I went today to help my friend with his tank. When he was going outside to dump all the water. He has woodlands behind his house. Guess what? He found this 1inch toad. I THINk its an american toad.

It looks exactly as the toad in the post before. I have this "cricket" keeper which I just cleaned out completely. I scrubbed it down and took all the dead crickets. I put it in boiling hot water and dropped some salt cubes. Waited 10mins. Repeated then rinsed off. I used a small cap thats from an old conditioner bottle as a water dish. I put in a small bit of paper towel. So its a puddle thats less than an inch. I put two. One filled with paper towel for humidity(its drenched) and the other is a puddle.


Iam using as substrate paper towel for the time being. I already have all I need. I managed to make a trade with him. My exo terra for his:
30gallon tank(36inches long x 12inches widex 12inches tall)
Fluval 305 filter(new) he just couldnt figure it out.
Fluval heater made for a 100g.
Lights(its for a smaller tank but for now itll do.

He did this trade cause oddly enough he gets stuff for cheaper price but he really wanted an exo terra.

For now Iam going to use this terrarium. WHen I get more money I will buy him/her(I think its a he because it has dark blotched belly) a 3ft longx 18inch widex18inch tall exo terra. Just because it looks nice. I know I know Iam already good with t he terrarium Iam getting. But Iam going to use it as a nursery for my fish after I get the exo terra. I told him if he finds me 2 more toads or so the same size or a little bigger and Ill pay him five bucks a piece.


Iam thinking it cant eat pinhead crickets for now? SO Iam going to either gather some ants from my yard tommorrow or run off to the stores and try to find fruit flies. Should I not be able to find fruit flies is it possible I can leave a jar with a orange in it and attract fruit flies? I mean I know I shouldnt feed wild insects but its a wild toad therefore it must eat wild insects at some point. Its only temporary. But I want my options. Id really like to keep it because I like the colors and its the toad I been looking for. I hope I can get atleast 2males and 1 female or 2 females I dont know. Also oddly enough my moss is still alive. I think the other one had died because I was either watering it too much or put light in frequently. It just barely gets any light. So when I put it in the terrarium Ill have to make a shaded area for it. I was wondering if I can grow clovers in the terrarium? I really like clovers. I was thinking Id grab a patch of it from my yard or something. They sell these potted grass called "pet grass" that its made for cats because its catnip. I was wondering if I can use it in my terrarium? Any photo ideas you guys can give me?

Ps: It looks like the toad from the previous post.
