Reptile & Amphibian Forums

i recently bought an egyptian toad and was wondering what would be the best set up for him. right now he is in a 10 gallon tank with a big water dish,approx. 1/3 of the tank.he is about 2 inches long.any help would be appreciated

I have an Egyptian Green Toad, bufo viridis, in a 20 gallon long (more than adequate). I keep mine on coco-fiber with moss on one side and some plants and hide spots. Here are some links I have found on this species:

They are a terrestrial frog and only go to the water to breed so a smaller water bowl would probably be sufficient.

Me again. If yours does not look like the Egyptian Green Toad pics above. I have seen these sites for the similar Egyptian Toad called bufo regularis:
