Wow, missed that post. Sorry for the late reply, but you did call me zoink. I don't have a picture of the back, here is a crude drawing.

The toads can swim though the entire thing without being stranded. They are excellent swimmers. Sometimes if startled they will dart to the bottom of the water for a bit, but they always come right back up a minute later. My first thought was a ramp, but it took up too much space and allowed for less water. These guys can climb right out of the water with no problem what so ever. The sand has been sticking wonderfully for the past two years or so. I used a fine grade sand(playsand from lowes) and I don't believe it is too coarse for their skin. They do swim some times, but usually I find them just chilling out floating in the water
