Hi all! So I found this toad in Syracuse, New York in late September. It is most likely an American toad but there are some things that are off. Some of the spots have more than 2 warts (3-4) and the belly is a bit spotted. I know Fowler's toads are very similar in appearance to American toads but I also know that New York is more north out of their range. There has been one Fowler's toad siting in New York on the New York herp atlas so I was wondering what other's thought of this guy being a Fowler's toad away from it's range? Or just a weird American toad.

So I used to have 2 but one unfortunately passed away years and years ago. I still have the one. I was wondering that after all of this time without another friend do you think he would get along with one now? The tank is large enough for another.I walk by them at the pet store all the time and see them sitting and hugging each other so maybe he would?

Received some toads from a rescue that I plan on fostering for a while but have no idea what they are. I am thinking marine toad but want to double check. I am experienced with many toads and frogs but these are totally new to me. They are skinny but eating.

Thanks

I grew up in Georgia and am starting to miss these common, but cute little guys. I am looking for a place where I could buy one or two and be guaranteed that they would arrive live.

I am hoping someone on this forum might be able to help me with a schedule for vitamin and calcium supplementation for Woodhouse toads. I recently received two albino Woodhouse toads which are 1.5" to 2" in size. I am using Reptivite and calcium with D3 (not at the same time) on crickets. I am also using a low output UVB bulb eight hours a day. I am worried about giving the animals too many of the fat-soluble vitamins and would appreciate hearing from other members about dusting schedules that they have found to be successful for this size toad. I would also appreciate recommendations about daily versus every other day feeding. Thank you in advance. rana888

Hey!
Who else has a toad that is strangely, and amazingly, tame and loving (also known as ridiculously tolerant...)?!
I have a few sweet 'phibs, Wood House Toads and Fire Bellies, that will come to your hand, follow you around (NOT that they have free range), and take food from your hand. I didn't know any herptile could process such a thing- except for the eating stuff!
LOL, am I weird for hanging out with my toads so much?

Anyone have an idea what species this is? It was purchased at a pet store. Nobody knew what it was. (wtf)

We've been working intensely with bumble bee toads (Melanophryniscus stelzneri) the last two years, and finally started having serious success with raising toadlets about 6 months ago. Shortly, we'll have our captive breds available on Josh's Frogs - Largest online herps feeders and reptile supplies store. In preparation for this, I've prepared a fairly comprehensive guide to keeping and breeding bumble bee toads, as we want others to be as successful as we have been. Check it out!

I would like to design a naturalistic biome terrarium in a 10 gallon tank for a Great Plains toad. Anyone have any ideas? I would like to maybe construct a burrow that can be seen through the glass but I don't know if this would stress the toad out or not. Any ideas on substrate and plants?

Have had my Marine Toad for around 3 years and nothing like this has ever happened. I am very worried about him.

Several days ago he looks very dry and he was out of his water bowl, so I poured some clean water in there and then he seemed fine.

Then a couple days ago I noticed his poison stuff coming out of his back. He's never done that before or if he has, it wasn't in such high ammounts (it was visible and white)

I decided to clean out his cage entirely and start fresh, so that maybe that would help him out. Now he is sitting on the small ledge of his water bowl, like he doesn't want to get in it, and he's just been sitting there all night. It doesn't look comfortable at all. He's like... scrunched up on the edge like he doesn't want to get in the water, but there is plenty of room on the other side of the dish.

Why is he behaving like this? I have no idea how old he was when I got him, because he was a gift. He has been this same size the entire time so I assume he was an adult... could he just be getting old and ready to die? Or is there something I'm doing wrong?

I used to have a Marine Toad that was almost impossible to handle. It would hiss, squirm, secrete poison, and pee on me every time I held it. Is this normal for this kind of toad?

I have a newly acquired gulf coast toad from southeast texas. I thought it was an american tod at first but it has a vibrant yellow stripe running down its back. That makes me think its a gulfcoast toad.

I have the terrarium setup with a hide, water dish, and soil substrate. Im currently feeding it Mealworms

Where will the toad defecate? Will it poop in the water dish or soil? I ask so i will know where to cleanup.

Also are htere any tips as to how to sex it?

WEST AUSTRALIAN (Perth) 11 July 11 Toads develop new tactics to avoid capture (Louise Burke)
Cane toads invading the far north of WA are learning disturbing new behaviours to avoid capture by humans.
Kimberley Toadbusters field co-ordinator Ben Scott-Virtue said the toads had started hopping away from the group's volunteers.
"The most amazing thing is when we go out with our high-powered torches at night to collect them, the toads are running," Mr Scott-Virtue said. "The moment we stop the car and open the door, they are off."
This behaviour did not happen "behind the line" in the Northern Territory and appeared to be a new tactic from the toads.
"Any of those areas which have been colonised for quite a while, the toads happily sit there as you come up with a torch and pick them up," Mr Scott-Virtue said.
"It's certainly a learned response and it's a response from human predation on the toad."
Teams of about 16 people go out every night of the year to collect cane toads, which have advanced to Molly Springs, about 30km west of Kununurra.
The toads have also been found within about 20km of World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park, which is famous for the Bungle Bungle Range.
Eighty-two-year-old Bob Wainwright still volunteers with Toadbusters.
"These little bastards are taking a might more effort to bag than they used to," he said.

I found a very red toad today here in N.W. Arkansas. It is about as red as good red crested gecko. I took a couple of pictures which look about right on my iphone and don't look very red at all on my computer so I didn't try to adjust them. So my question is how common is it to find such a red toad?

Thanks
Allen

Hello,

For years, I have caught and kept toads - primarily as Heterodon food, but I have become significantly more attached in recent years and keep them as pets for the season. Well, my girlfriend and I caught a pair last night (on the road, so We saved them ), and We put them in a 12"-diameter round container with 1" of water outside for the night (We took some videos in my room of the male calling after being placed in water - very cool!). The male's clinging as expected.

Now, my concern is, if-and-when We get eggs, how do We 'incubate' them? Years ago, I tried keeping the eggs in this same container, never changing the water, I believe, and they went to waste. Thus, do I change up water every so often?

What else do I need to do? My girlfriend and I would very much like to succeed with having Our own baby toads (which she's even more crazy about!). Also, just getting some duckweed or whatever from a local pond should suffice for food, right?

Any and all information will be graciously accepted, thanks!!

Sincerely,
Timothy
