Good stuff. One suggestion, rather than poking holes in the plastic container with a screw driver (which can look ugly) you can heat one up on the stove and slide it through the plastic, which looks much cleaner.
I kept my toad on a substrate of additive free soil mixed with a bit of smooth sand, to help keep it aerated and loamy, rather than muddy and goopy.

That's a good suggestion. I wrote this with the emphasis on phrase I used in it: "good basic care in a hurry".

I use a soldering iron to make holes in plastic containers.
