My 10G American Toad Setup

hey all,

here is my first attempt at a vivarium, i am not sure how well it qualifies though, the plants are two various ivy's and i have a chunk of sod and grass seeds sprouting in the soil substrate, two terra cotta dishes serve as food/water receptacles, the lighting in the pics was only for the pics, usually the light is natural from being next to a window during the day, and at night i use a 25w blue incandescent to simulate moonlight

my plans are to move up to a 20G or 30G at most as she grows larger, i want to include some type of circulating pond or stream, i think the toad might try to munch fishes, he is a glutton and eats anything that moves, but we'll see, if you noticed right now the plants are potted, i want to eliminate this in my next upgrade and get a few other things growing

glad to join the forums and look forward to learning and getting new ideas

One more pic to add:

thanks for the input everyone! i look forward to seeing him/her grow up big and plump

i have been wondering about the sexing, did a little research but still can't figure out if it is male or female, it doesn't make a difference to me, i'm just curious

i might remove that lump of sod on the right side and replace it with live moss from the forest around where i live (upper peninsula michigan), do you think moss would take a transplant without dying? i think the moss would look more natural and fitting for the habitat,

here are a few more pics, more details of the plants and a few toad close-ups:

the grass is really taking off now, still working on finding some good moss to replace the ugly chunk of sod:

just came back from a nice walk in the woods, michigan tech has a huge network of biking/walking/skiing trails available to students, got some nice fresh moss and replaced the clump of sod, i think it looks much better now, pictures coming up!
