    Tip for having your post answered: don't post a wall of text. Paragraphs make posts so much easier to read and much less intimidating.

    Most plants will need some daylight spectrum lighting on a regular basis in order to survive.

    The one thing that strikes me about this setup is that it seems a bit on the small size.

    Hi Kevin, no offense, but I heartily agree with John that a giant wall of text is a painful thing to slog through.

    It looks like you've gathered a bunch of plants from various sources and rammed them in your enclosure. If you, and your toad, are happy with it, then it looks good to me (I know nuts about keeping toads though).

    A daylight spectrum fluorescent spiral bulb will make many plants happy. Whatever lighting you use, I'd suggest you take careful notes on the conditions the plants are in, what kinds of plants they are (pictures/drawings and descriptions are fine, so long as you can ID it later), and how they do under these conditions. Do this consistently and you'll soon know which of your "weeds" are happy and which are killed off. Adjust your conditions or plantings accordingly for a happier enclosure.

    A general tip for gathering outdoor plants for terrarium use- aim for plants growing in shade or part shade. A typical terrarium setup will kill any plant that requires full on sunlight to live.
