If you’re ever lost, without a purpose in life, and you feel alone, and like no one cares about you, remember. Toad care.

.......Wait do you hear that? The public is demanding more toad/frog content Alex

Never planning on getting a toad but I’m still watching lol.

the thing i like about goherping is how alex looks like he's so done with everyone and everything

The pure chaos of cutting your hair on a whim while filming is wonderful

Last time i was this early Alex turned into a box warrior and slayed reptiles in boxes

Alex: *just showing off the enclosure* Betty: 👁👄👁

Toad Care in A Nutshell: Just do whatever, but make sure the animal is comfortable

Toads are the under rated kings of “reptile” keeping. Some of the most interesting and easy to care for animals.

Alex: Somehow a functional human with an amazing business and successful at animal rehabilitation Also Alex: Scared of ovens

I don’t have a desire to have a toad but I’ll watch bc Betty is cute.

*has to finish school work* *chooses to watch a care guide video on an animal that I don't own*

I just found a half dead three legged toad in the wild and I’m desperately searching up toad care, thank you for the video, Yardstick the three footed toad appreciates it

frogs : The Ph of this soil is to high I think I might die Toads:fUcK YeAh CoNcReTe

Am I EVER gonna get a toad? No. Did I still watch? Yes

Ok good video but, can’t we all just appreciate the cute toad in the video? :3 (and the Quarantine haircut lmao)

Stan is just sleeping, hes so adorable.

Literally just started caring for a American toad. Perfect timing!!

i love the shots of toads on random objects throughout the video

Perfect timing, man. I myself didn’t need it but a friend did :)

I love "boring" animals like not exotic just critters you can find on your porch which is probably why I have two green anoles (I'm planning on breeding) and next I want a red eared slider.

I see these little guys everyday hoping around by my house :)

I just wanted to thank you for sharing your expertise. I am a 62 yo gardener with a pond. One of the tadpoles was albino this year. S/he made out of the pond, but I decided life may be too risky for him/her out in the world. I am now a toad parent, and I need experts like you!

Thanks for the toads vid! I've kept a pair of toads for 5 years now, raised since when I caught them as babies (I figured that I would impact the environment by taking babies instead of established adults, and maybe less chance of having acquired parasites.) One correction: toads DO absorb water through their skin for drinking (I don't think I've seen seen my toads drink through their mouths), but they only absorb it through a small patch of skin on their underside, opposed to other frogs that can absorb through their skin anywhere. Also, something important to mention is shedding: toads will shed their skin periodically and if you observe them doing it, it's REALLY gross: they get all slimy looking and peel and eat the dead skin off themselves. My toads really enjoy eating hornworms and nightcrawlers. Dubias are good too but they have a hard time catching them unless feeding outside the tank in a special container, which is why I like feeding crickets: the crickets can provide some enrichment while the toads hunt them down in their enclosure, but the crickets don't disappear as easily as the dubias. Toads are great pets: easy to care for, they have big personalities, and you can feed them all sorts of fun bugs.

We raised tadpoles in a kiddie pool in our back yard... they are now tiny frogs and we love them. We have thousands hopping around our yard! We love them. Great video!!!

I have recently become addicted to catching and releasing north eastern toads, they’re adorable! Usually find them on rainy nights.

He looks very displeased XD like his servant just brought him a bug that was a bit too small for his liking. Also my sister had an african bullfrog for a while. He was cool. When she got him he could fit on your finger nail. So she gave him a big name “Cornelius” well he ended up as big as a guys fist. He probably wasn’t done getting bigger either. Anyway whenever my sister was away she was away for maybe month. So for like a whole summer i was the one who would feed him. And doing that was easy. Id go out into my yard and turn over rocks to find worms. And huge fat slugs. And snails too. Id come in with a small bowl with a bunch of worms and slugs. He really loved the slugs.

I don’t actually own any reptiles I just love your videos

watching this and hearing I'm doing everything right is so comforting. I love my toad, Oggdo Bogdo, and I am so glad she's probably happy with me :')

My dads house has woodhouse’s toads in the summer. Absolutely love them

I live in California and it’s, like, 15-20% humid most of the time. I’m always so surprised at how humid some animals need to be.

I just got my first pet toad-and I’m terrified tbh 😅 I already love him so much and want to do a good job, so I’m rewatching these videos and rereading my care notes. Wish me luck!

So happy this is a thing just got an American toad thx so much!!!!

10:00 I'm curious: how do you tell that a toad is lethargic? Isn't that like checking about whether a rock is asleep?

Finally a KZfaqr using “with that said” in the right context. U go Alex yr a breath of fresh air 👍🏼 great content keep up the good work 🙂

One of the only people who will actually use this, and is getting an American Toad.

Good guide. I keep a toad each year over the winter and I’ve come up with many of the conclusions you share here. Bugs to eat, fresh spring water, and a place to hide. It’s really interesting how they all have different personalities too. This year’s toad (Toady Stark) is very boring. Thanks for the video!

me: finally finished a 40 gallon vivarium for my first snake ( bp) Once i finally think about where im getting it, hop on to emerald scales, find a pastel that is super pretty, Emerald Scales: We do not ship due to covid.

The reason I love your channel is because your voice is so chill and not so in the face like other youtubers who want to catch your attention no matter what. You are chill and your way of speaking is natural and comfortable to listen to.

I enjoy keeping my American Toads. I find them fun to watch interacting with each other and their feeding behaviors

Finally someone does this care guide, thank you.

I am also named Alex, and I too love American Toads! By far my most favorite pet! Thank you so much for your video, I'm glad everything I've read and watched on American Toads has been so consistent. "They're super chill and will they've as long as you don't feed them insects that can hurt them", love it lol.

I have two lovely american toads of my own. Big Chonkus and Bufo the Vampire Slayer.

THANK YOUUU I've been searching so much on care of toads so I'm glad you could do a vid on it, im looking into getting a cane toad

THANK YOU SOO MUCH MAKING THIS!!! I was starting to think about how to take care of my toad the proper way and I see this!!! THANK YOU!

Thank you! I was hoping you would make this video I’m considering getting a toad

Already have a toad already know pretty much everything I could need to know, just like watching toad videos.

This is literally exactly what I was hoping to see next!

Me: Doesnt have and reptiles or amphibians. Also me: Binging these care videos across channels for years.

Toads, for some unknown reason, are just the cutest animals ever. Like... yeah your puppy is cute, but isn't this baby cane toad just adorable!?!? Lol

Thank you for this. My son wants a toad and we’ve been watching your vids :)

O i felt the first minutes of this vid....us curly hair people have all used the old household scissors to trim stray curls hahahaha

I’m so early! yay! its amazing how as soon as i wanted a pet toad this video was created

This is this the most fun best !!! BONUS haircut was definitely the frosting on the cake

I have 5 Fowler's toadlets (a spring time tadpole project) thank you so much for this! It is so hard to find info on such a great pet, they are so fun to watch!

Doobie roaches? Sounds like a pretty chill toad, bro.

Good care guide btw, for toad water, I'd definitely recommend dechlorinating. Many toad species have a patch of skin on their stomach that they use to absorb water. Idk if it's all species, but for frogs and toads I've always used aquarium or koi pond dechlorinator. You can also set a pitcher of water outside in the sun to dechlorinate it for free.

Yes!! FINALLY!! I’ve been here for way too long waiting for this video!

Thanks for the vid! We have a couple we are keeping for a bit to learn more about them!

LOVE your video's keep doing you. Your great.

Thank you for sharing your herpies with us.

Just found 2 american toadlets and I'm in love w them. 🥺

Also thanks for the unboxing,and repti room vids ik those must take awhile to edit,due to the exploritory curiosity of animals keep it up, great content

I think the amount to feed adult toads will depend on their sex, part of their sexual dimorphism is that female toads often wind up much, much larger (up to like 2x as big) and in my experience they will need to eat more than an adult male will, also if you are cohabiting a pair of adults (male and female) and do not want them to breed, mildly lower temperatures and humidity will often be enough of a deterrent and prevent breeding (and in many cases croaking) as it stimulates winter weather.

Yessss I’ve been wanting another care guide video !!!!!!!

Great video to have out there! Most people who are looking into toad care will need something like this.

My bedroom is in the basement, I got one of those windows with the metal bin around holding back the dirt so I get sunlight. That thing catches hundreds of toads a year. And they ping on the glass all damn night.

I had 4 american toads growing up and my mom found out they can be trained! You can train them to not pee on you and feed anything off a stick since they are food motivated enough.

Hi Alex!!! I really enjoyed this. It was very informative 👍

Thank you for this! We live out in the country and every summer I find toads in the window well behind my house. If I don't pick them up and get them out I find their shriveled up bodies down there the next time I check, so I check for them often. I make terrarium with usually just springtails, rolly pollies, worms, etc. I was working on one of my terrariums and decided I wanted to put a toad in it. It's a moss terrarium with a oak sapling and a Conifer sapling in it, I set up a little bark puddle in the corner. Thanks again for the care guide!

“I don’t know.. Ovens scare me so I don’t like using them” Same Alex same

Hi I have a toad as well her name is Betty and is very healthy

Awesome video! Great information 😆 thank you!

Back when I lived in Indiana, I'd see them everywhere after it rained. Never thought of having one for a pet though. There was this field by my elementary school which would get flooded in the spring, when all the snow melted. It would get all filled up with tadpoles.

I feel special.

I literally just got 3 toadlets about a month ago

Excellent video, this will help me a lot; thank You!

I JUST got an american toad! PERFECT TIMING!

Im earlyyyy, I am getting an American toad soon and I am really exciteddd

Me: (has no desire to get a toad in the near future) Also me: oooh toad video cute toad must watch

I always loved toads (earliest memory). Enjoyed your vid on Betty, Sue & Potato, too.

Toads are underrated, I plan to get a group of 3-4 toads this summer and give them an amazing enclosure. For some reason they are just very relaxing to watch for me. I also like how they'll burrow and then randomly appear covered in their substrate like they just woke up from a nap and get very visibly excited when there is food. and the way they'll twiddle their toes when they're about to jump/go after prey. I like the ones that chirp when they're scared too

7:35 Can I just say that I actually worry about him sometimes ( dont even get me started at what happened at the beginning of the video)

is it just me or did somebody else think stan was apart of the rock to? lol

this is great! i just recently collected a random amphibian egg from a creek and it ended up being an american toad. im glad you took the time to make this video because, like you said, there are almost no toad care resources out there!

I had like 50 tadpoles, 40ish became toads, and I kept one. Her name is Chippy and I love watching her

I got a question tho, my toads use their water dish as a toilet...is that normal?

Loved your video it was very helpful my boyfriend got a toad with a lawnmower and the poor thing lost his back leg so I took him in ... That was 3 months ago and he is doing great I never had a toad before so we are learning together I just wanted to say thank you

Just rescued my toad last night and while i have a basic knowledge on toad care this video definitely informed me a little more and will definitely make her stay with much more comfortable.

Hey man, I have had an American Toad for 4 months or so now and he has been super chill but has some difficulty with handling and eating, so this video has helped so much! Any additional advice from anyone is welcome :)

North Carolina... all I see are in my sheds

I love toads but I feel bad keeping one, I plan on making my backyard “toad friendly” play toad sounds and hope for the best

Loved your information

I have wanted this video for so long thank you

You actually have the balls to cut your own hair I am humbled by this
