Moroccan toad

I picked this little guy up at the petstore today. They were calling him a "moroccan green toad". I found a little bit of info online about Bufo mauritanicus but he looks a little different that the pics I saw. Maybe because he's a juvinile? He's about 4". I'm keeping him similar to a pac man set up. He's in a rather small exo terra tank right now (12x12") and I hope to move him into something larger soon.

Does anyone know if he really is a Bufo mauritanicus? I can't any care info only that they live in tropical dry forests and shrubland. I'm wondering how big they get.

Cool Toad! Update us on how it's doing.

I found out he's a European Green Toad (bufo viridis), and he should be just about full size if he's a male. Females get about 5".
Last night he was eating anything I put in front of him. I think he ate 2 dubia nymphs, some crickets and a few mealworms.
