Default Anyone know if some communal frogs/toads which are terrestrial?

Apart from fire bellied toads obviously...

Just wondering if there was anything else out there. I've seen pics of chubby frogs and I love them but I'm not sure if you can keep them in pairs or trios, I'd prefer something communal.

Same with black spined toads(bufo melanostictus).

if neither of those are communal, I imagine black spined toads aren't, can anyone think of any others?

Chubbys (Kaloula pulchra) would be rather nice as a trio, we keep a 2:3 group and they're lots of fun, if a bit invisible at times

in my local exotics shop they sell chubby's, well I think they do anyway, the tank always looks empty, but I have been assured there is some in there LOL, so they must be very invisible!

apparently in the day they like to bury themselves just below the surface or within moss and leaves. They only come out when it starts getting dark.

I don't like fire bellied toads all that much, I wish there was a similarly sized frog about. I love darts but I'd prefer something which is a little easier to keep.

chubbys are cool

but from what ive heard any type of bull frog are likely to grow to the size that they would eat anything that moves in front of them

tomato bulls seem cool and relatively easy to keep

pacmans are terrestrial too and they look really funky

I'm getting a group of 1.2 bufo viridis (european green toads) in the next week.

And i know a few people who have groups of bufo regularis (square marked toads)

I'm not 100% sure about bufo melanostictus but i cant se why not
