Species: Duttaphrynus melanostictus
Juvenile to Adult
Don't be fooled by their lack of colour; this species is both interesting and easy to care for. Also known as the Asian Black Toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus), the Asian Spiny Toad is a nocturnal amphibian that doesn't require UVB lighting, making it an ideal choice for beginner toad keepers. While UVB is optional, providing a low-output lamp helps establish a natural day/night cycle in the terrarium, promoting healthy behavior and activity patterns. Perfect for hobbyists seeking a low-maintenance pet toad with minimal lighting requirements.
