Hi Julie,



I suppose it might seem a bit strange to some people that people like us enjoy having toads as pets. Personally, I have always found them to be interesting, curious pets, especially the American Toads. I have two Southern Toads at the moment. They are very similar in appearance and behavior to the American.

I haven't noticed any extra sensitivity to touch following their shedding process, but it could be that my toads don't have a lot of contact with one another in their 20-gallon tank.They tend to spend most of their time on opposite sides of the tank.

They will spend time together in the water bowl, but that's really about it. What I have noticed is that just before shedding, they usually seem uncomfortable and stressed.



I am curious about your setup. Are you really mixing toads, frogs and newts in the same tank? Can you post a photo of your setup? I would love to see it.



Oh, by the way, your toads seem to be pretty normal.
