Recently my friend (lets call him B) is planning on giving me his toad. It's really weird how he says hes a animal lover and what not, but can't even take care of his animals.....lol... Well "B" had a chuckwalla awhile ago but his mom took it away from him because of his carelesnes by not feeding and cleaning it. Back to the toad, I read roughly 6 caresheets on them but I can't find anything on temps and caging for them. Does anyone have a pic on caging on these guys? I was thinking of something simple, a rubbermaid with eco earth and a dish of water. Would 80ish degrees and the simple setup be good for a terrestris? I need answers fast!

I can't speak specifically about southern toads but my american has done well on just papers towels, a hide box and a large water bowl. Do not use tab water use bottled drinking water or spring water and change it daily. Mine does well at room temp. This is the same set-up a lot of people use for pac man frogs.
