Instructions

-
1
Visit a local pet store or pet supply shop that carries reptiles and amphibians.
-
2
Browse the various types of toads that are in stock.
-
3
Know that true toads have rough skin with warts and big eyes with pupils that are horizontal.
-
4
Check the front hands, which should be unwebbed.
-
5
Notice the large glands that stick out by the ear and on the head.
-
6
Ask to see an Oriental firebellied toad, which is a traditional type of toad that likes to hop around and eat bugs.
-
7
Realize that this breed is a particularly good first one to own.
-
8
Understand that these toads don't get too large and can adjust easily to the climate in the terrarium in your home.
-
9
Avoid Budgettes toads if you don't know much about them. They can get rather fat and are not particularly active, so they are not as much fun to own.
-
10
Be aware that a full-grown Budgette has a powerful bite.
-
11
Be prepared for the fact that many toads will sleep during the day and stay up most of the night.
-
12
Remember you will need to buy crickets to feed your toad.
