Asian Spiny Toad 6-8cm WC

The Asian Spiny Toad is a hardy species that requires a warm and humid environment to thrive. They are nocturnal and primarily insectivores, so their diet should consist of a variety of live insects such as crickets, mealworms, and other suitable insects. In addition to providing hiding spots and a shallow water dish for soaking, you can add climbing structures and natural vegetation to enhance their environment, keeping them healthy and happy.

A suitable enclosure for an Asian spiny toad should be spacious with plenty of substrate for burrowing. Maintaining proper humidity levels and temperature gradients within the habitat is crucial to mimic the Asian Spiny Toads’ natural environment, ensuring their well-being. Bioactive enclosures are perfect for this species as they replicate the environment the toad would receive in the wild, promoting natural behaviors and maintaining a healthy ecosystem within the enclosure.

Asian spiny toads thrive in temperatures ranging from 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and around 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit at night, providing them with the necessary thermal gradients for their well-being. Providing a heat source such as a heat lamp or heat mat is essential to maintain the required temperature gradients within the enclosure, creating a suitable environment for the Asian Spiny Toads.

Maintaining a humidity level of around 60-80% is essential for Asian spiny toads’ health, as it aids in hydration, shedding, and overall well-being. This can be achieved by misting the enclosure daily and providing a shallow water dish for them to soak in. Maintaining proper humidity levels is crucial for their overall health and well-being.

Asian spiny toads are insectivores and should be fed a diet of appropriately sized insects such as crickets, mealworms, roaches, and other suitable insects to ensure a diverse and balanced nutritional intake. Dusting their food with a calcium supplement is crucial to ensure Asian spiny toads receive proper nutrition, promoting bone health and overall well-being. Overfeeding should be avoided to prevent obesity, digestive problems, and nutrient imbalances that can lead to serious health issues in Asian spiny toads.
