Enclosure use

My.mom bought me some plastic enclosures she found on Amazon. She thought I could use them for something. Any idea what I could put in these? I had some coconut fiber lying around so I put it in then

A Raccoon Ate My Toad :(

I'm in central California. To my joy, a big western toad moved in near my small garden pond. I didn't see it often, not sure where it was hiding. Probably under a bush or stone. I found its carcass. Probably a raccoon got it, though it may have been a cat. I'm wondering about two things. First, how to attract another one. Second, how to provide it with some kind of shelter that will attract it and help it hide safely from the next raccoon.

Update on leucitic grey tree frog tadpole!

Hi all! Apologies for not updating my original thread on this sub - I couldn't figure out how to add a video into a comment. I think you can find the post in my bio if you want to see the origin story!

Anyway, he's going so great! Thank you all for your help deciding what to do.
He's super healthy and lively, and his body is changing, we are on our way to frogtown!!

I'm getting his terrarium supplies today, so expect another post in a week or so.
I'm accepting names... I was calling him Axl since he looks like a tiny axolot!!
Lately I've been calling him Blondie 😆let me know if you've got something better!

Need Frog Enclosure Input

Hi everyone! I have a few frog enclosure questions that I would love some advice on. I’ve researched some of these, but I feel like Google isn’t always the most helpful. I have an African Pixie Frog (3-4yrs, male, about 4-5 inches long).

1. Can he safely swim in a #5 PP plastic container? It holds about 4ish gallons, is about 6 inches deep. It’s FDA food safe, but not sure if it’s frog safe.
2. Does he need a mister? His tank is usually at 60% humidity and I mist it once or twice a day
3. He gets some powder supplements, but does he need a UV light?
4. Is 40 gallons big enough? He has about 3 gallons of dirt area, 6-7 inches deep.
5. What type of gloves are safe without that like powdery residue some have? I haven’t been using them, but I also rarely handle him. Regardless I want to be more careful
6. Is reptisoil/coco fiber with a false bottom a good substrate?

Any answer to any of these would be helpful!! Thank you everyone!

Hippity hoppity garden friend

Found this little guy hanging out under my butternut squash in South East London.

I installed a pool and an upturned flowerpot to help keep him damp and provide limited anti-cat defense.

Frankly I'm amazed he's survived at all in this weather.

Planning to relocate him to the least dried out pond I can find. Nice to have him here in the meantime though

What kind of Toad is this?

Sorry for the low quality pictures, I found him outside and his leg was twisted backwards so I took him inside to live in my terrarium a while ago and hes doing great. I'm pretty sure he's an american toad, but looking at old pictures of american toads ive had im not too sure. I know their appearance varies a lot so if you know pls reply! Thank you! His name is Animal :)

Newts in the Olympics?

NE corner of the Olympics, up at ~5500', found these little things swimming around the lake pictured in the second photo. There were dozens and dozens. Only other things in the lake were tadpoles and water bugs. They sure look like long toed salamanders, but seems the wrong time of year to be hanging out in the water like this?

Gray treefrog live at the rain barrel!

This gray treefrog has been living in my rain barrel overflow hose since spring. Today it's out sunbathing. Don't expect much action, but if you enjoy watching frogs sit around, you're in the right place.

Newt in a Zhuravlyne lake [Skole Beskids national park, Ukraine]

I am pretty confident it's a newt, but is there a chance to know the species more precisely?

Also viewed the flairs multiple times, don't know which one is used for amphibians
