Substrate and Water Needs:

Water is a MUST for american toads. Without water they will dry out. (drying out is not good)

Lighting and UVB:

American toads are one of the easiest creatures to care for. The dont really need any lightin. They spend most of the day underground trying to get away from the sun. they dont bask.

Temperatures and Humidity:

Room temprature is fine for american toads. if you find the walls of glass container are fogging up it is TOO humid for your toad. Like I said they can dry up.

Heating and Equipment:

American toads are amazing burrowers so they need a sandy floor to dig in. (Unfertilized soil works good too.) They need a water bowl that is big enough for them to sit in. and put some sort of hiding place in their cage.

I have a 15 gallon fish tank. I also think those land/water cages are really cool. i think you can get them at reptarium.com or somethin, and your local pet store probly has them.
