Need some B. viridis info

[ron]

I'm looking at getting a single Bufo viridis, but can hardly find any information on these guys. It seems like they are so common throughout Europe and the Mediterranean that there really isn't all that much specific information.

I haven't done much keeping of true toads, so my questions pretty much just have to do with temperatures (although I'm sure average household temps are fine), but mostly humidity and dampness. Do they dislike a saturated substrate? What sort of humidity should I be looking at (a screen cover for drier air or a tight-fitting glass type to keep humidity up)?

Thanks!

Dryish, good ventilation, low humidity, water dish for soaking. Good info at:

Thanks Alan...what about temps? I can't find hardly any info on temps. Are they most comfortable in the 50s, 60s, 70s?

They have a pretty wide range, but I'd go for 60-70F if you can.
