About These colorful toads have a toxic coating on their skin. It is their coloring that makes them known to predators as not a good food choice. It is very important that you ALWAYS wash your hands after handling them, and DO NOT handle them if you have cuts or sores on your hands as this may penetrate into your open wound. |

10 Gallon tank is sufficient. If you have 2, it would be best to get a larger home for them. 2-4 inches of water is needed as they love to swim. Change daily with water that has set out for 24 hours. Plenty of hiding spots are essential to keep stress levels at a minimum.
