I'm looking into keeping some frogs and these toads look like a great place to start, but I have some questions. First, is a 5.5 gallon tank suitable for 2 of these guys? Also, I was thinking of dividing the tank and making half of it water and half land. Is it ok to use peat moss as a substrate on the land side? I'd divide the tank with a piece of plexiglass.

I think a 5.5 might be too small for 2 toads . I think the smallest tank for 2 toads would be a 10 gallon .

Would it be alright for one then?

Firebelly toads are very active frogs. They would do better in at least a 10 gallon. They also enjoy each others company unlike most frogs. One lone toad is just that...one lone toad.

Alright, I'll have to give this some more thought then.

Welcome to the "hobby". Becarefull because before long it will become a "passion". I started a couple years ago with one toad in a 10 gal tank and now have 6. Like the others I think a 10 gal would be the smallest I'd go for a toad. I'd also suggest a couple because they do like to be together. Let us know how things turn out
