Pyxicephalus

Two, terrestrial and arboreal species.

all of our native toads are adapted to life on land in captivity they will do well if given a few inches of soil a third black dirt a third peat moss and a third fine sand a few pieces of bark to hide under and a small shallow dish of water a five to ten gallon aquarium will do the sides and back should be painted a dark brown or black and a screen top will be needed to keep them inside the soil mixture should be replaced every few weeks for proper sanitation if the soil mixture becomes too wet it should be replaced Besides most toads, the South American horned frog, Ceratophorus, the African burrowing frog, Pyxicephalus, and the spadefoot toads, Scephippus, can be kept in this type of vibarium.

However, if you notice that the bottom of the toads or frog's hind feet are becoming raw from too much digging, it may be best to keep them on wet paper towels rather than on any soil.
