Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I'm having some dirt work done and the backhoe just dug up a toad. Nothing fancy, just the common variety we have in the Texas Panhandle.
He narrowly escaped being squished. I grabbed him and now he is in a plastic critter keeper with several inches of damp Jungle Mix I had left over from my tiger sal. He's already buried down in.
If the excavation is filled back in within a few hours (it's noon Monday) I plan to put him back where I found him.
But it may not be, and a winter storm is coming in fast.
If I have to keep him overnight or longer, will that then mean he can't go back outside?
He's in the guest bathroom, same as my salamander. The heat vent is turned off so it's about 68 in there.
Will he come out of hibernation?
Am I doomed to have another permanent resident, like the salamander, who was similarly rescued four years ago?
Any advice will be appreciated.

And now it is sleeting, predicted to turn to snow, and the backhoe work isn't done. So it looks like he'll be with me for at least a few days.
