American toad vivarium build.

Thanks! Yes, it’s just for my two toads. This tank is a 20G long, and my second build. I tried to emulate the temperate forest atmosphere that my toads came from, although having temperate plants would be way too hard so I opted for some easier, more forgiving plants.

I don’t have any videos but I have some more pics of it in various stages of development:

I used foam, silicone, cork bark, and coco fiber to make a background.


Heres what it looked like after adding plants, soil, and hides.




Here it is now with some new plants and more cork rounds for hides. I like this setup a lot because it is very dense and gives the toads plenty of places to hide. It’s a little less appealing looking from a showy / aesthetic direction, but I think the toads really enjoy the variety. I’m really enjoy working on the tank and I’m constantly improving it. It’s really fun to work on! I’m also happy to answer any more questions you have.


Peek-a-boo!
