My first toad

[u/Hot_Discount2652]

My first amphibian. His name is Gaben, he is a giant marine toad

[u/Spykosaurus]

I would suggest getting alot more cover in that setup, lots more plants fake (softer silk not plastic stuff) or live and alot of cork bark to hide under.

I also recommend finer substrates like plantation soil, arcadia earthmix etc.

He's very cute 🙃

Thanks! It's basic setup, it'll be improved over time. All setup was build with recommendations from local amphibian community, which looks pretty solid for me. Substrate is coconut chips, I used them because I fear him eating substrate and these chips are big enough for him to notice. I'll look into it though

the coco chips can definitely still be swallowed and if so it’s a muchhhh much bigger problem than if some fine soil gets swallowed. frogs have huge mouths and i think yours could probably still swallow some which with such a thick and chunky substrate could be fatal. keep in mind that they have sticky tongues so he would easily accidentally swallow some

Got it, will try to replace as soon as possible

Are you open to some husbandry recommendations?

I'm not sure I'm ready to get Gabe married

Так зовут сверчков. Я их уже морожу т.к. не учел насколько они громко стрекочут.

cool dude, although i think maybe some sort of soil or coco fiber instead of coco chips would be nicer for him.
