Hey guys, does anyone know a good care sheet for the Sonoran Desert Toad, my friend wants to get rid of his and I really want to take care of them and no I WONT be licking them.

Haha Thats funny ( Lick ); I'm not sure where the heck the lick thing began. Let them lick away. If I want I'll vaporize the squeezins. That rarely ever happens.

I keep mine in a 40 gallon Breeder with a screen top, Top soil, a deep ( 4" deep ) water dish for soaking, a small undertank heater, and a hide log.
Room temp is good; mist the dwelling daily; feed when ever you can afford to TRY to fill the bottomless pit. Mine eat crickets, super worms, pinkies ( both rat, and mouse ),small-lg mice ( live or f/t ), tent worms, ect.
DO NOT use chlorinated water that "has not" been left to sit and vaporize chlorine for at least 24 hrs; as this can cause an adverse outcome upto and including death of all Bufo specioes.

I hope this helps and is not waaaaaay late

Later and good luck

My alvarius won't eat pnkies or crickets but LOVES superworms & beetles! If I leave my porch light on I can catch beetles at night that I use to give him some variety in his diet, you can also pupate the superworms into beetles & mine LOVES those! If I feed mine the same prey item too often he goes off feeding. Variety seems to be important, hope this helps.

Also, I don't mist & "Bob" isn't bothered by this. Misting is optional as long as there's a large water bowel.
