We all know how bettas are sold in those small little cups, personally I think of it as pity merchandising. The customer feels sorry for the animal and buys it to give it a better home. Recently there was a thread about angelfish being sold in those small cups and how different that was considering bettas can breathe from the air and angelfish cannot. Here at the Walmart I work for the new fish order comes in on Wednesday, last night I walked over to have a look and did a double-take. Thought there were lil aliens sitting there on the shelf for a minute until I realized what they were. Yep firebelly toads sitting on the shelf in those little betta cups. Each with a small strand of some plant inside maybe an inch of water but probably less. Attached to the shelf is a printout telling how to care for them. At the very least it does say the little cups are only a temporary home and they need to be moved to a bigger container. It says a 10 gallon would make a good home, with a water area and dry land area, also says a reptile basking light can be placed over the dry area. I don't know much about them at all, so I'm wondering. How bad a situation would you say this is? Of course I have enough sense to know it's not good for the toads, but how bad is it? Is a 10 gallon the right size to house one in? How about 2? And do you really need a special light for them? I thought that was more for lizards and snakes but as I said I have hardly no experience, basically just what I've read on here. Finally, how hard is it to sex them? If I can figure out a plan and placement I would like to get a pair if its possible for the size I will have. I know some would say to not buy them because it only makes a demand, but I look at it as if i can come up with a way to get 1 or 2 and give them a good home at least thats 1 or 2 less that sit on that shelf until they die from being in their own waste. So what are your thoughts?
