I recomend a golden pothos, crotons, or dracneas because they are physicaly indestructable from a toads pount of veiw.it will eat anything ot can fit in its mouth that moves dont give it wild caught food though because its unsafe. Temps you can get on your own by simply going outside and placing a thermomiter and replicating that with a bulb. It will need uvb lighting even though it spends most of its time hiding. On the identification side im not familiar with any toads from texas exept for the spadefoot toad. Its eyes are to differant to be an american toad. Good luck
UMMM! I love your encouragement but..... the original post was from almost a year ago! I think your answer is a little too late! LOL!! But I found a toad with a front stump for a leg back in the summer. I didn't have an enclosure/tank setup yet, so I didn't keep it... never seen it again! Wish I would've started my project sooner cause if I had... I definitely would've kept him! Who knows.... maybe he'll hop up to me this spring???
