Xenodon werneri tackeling a surinam toad.

I don't like feeding toads, but I am working at conditioning them to rodents.

Yea, well I was gonna say that but glad someone else noticed it right away.

Backwards perhaps is not as tasty but at least it gets a good drink.

What kind of toad is that? The suriname toad I know and love is pipa pipa, and clearly not what's in the picture. Have I told you recently how incredible your collection is ?

Those are Bufo margaritiferus.

A most interesting thing is that I tried southern toads and they were not interested in them, not interested in frogs, not interested in fish, not interested in snakes, and not interested in apple pie.

Now I tossed in a bufo margaritiferus and it took a nano second for them to wallop them.

I need to find some local smaller bufo toads so I don't have to import food for them. The bufo toads I have in my yard are those marine toads about the size of a soft ball or larger. lol.

wow, that's going out of your way for feeding eh... it's like having to feed your child french caviar!
