If anyone can, i would enjoy it if they can suggest a few more toads, in case they have none available there (i dont think buying animals online is right, because they ahve to deal with shipping and it causes major stress)
Im looking for a toad that doesn't grow larger than the palm of my hand, doesnt need to complicated foods, crickets are the kind of things i want to feed them, not mice =], doesn't secrete anything that will make me itchy or anything else unless popped like a zit that is uncomfortable, that doesn't need anything larger than a 10-15 gallon tank, doesnt have too many needs (humidity, plant, or water wise, bowls of water are ok, and i can easily take care of grass, its tropical type things that get me stressed over), and can over time trust humans enough to be held. Hope you guys can help!

Mine are super tame, and this even takes into account they're kept in a large outdoor enclosure. We have fresh imports in vivaria at work, but this isn't how i'd keep them by choice - they're so much more enjoyable to keep when maintained in an escape proof outdoor enclosure.
Cheers
Al
