American Toad Care Guide

The American toad is one of the easiest amphibians to keep (not to mention easiest to get). Its range covers much of eastern Canada and the United States. They live in marshes, wetlands, and riverbanks, where they depend on perennial water sources and dense vegetation for hides. In terms of setting that space up, you can be as simple or complex as you want. Toads do well in bioactive aquariums, but beginners will probably want to start with silk plants.
