I reciently got a new pet toad. A common one native to NE US.

My question is do they change skin tones like some reptiles and fish do? I have noticed that he is much darker in color that wild ones I have handled and looked at and then let go.

The substrait I am using is an all natural potting soil that is dark in color. My little guy matches it almost perfectly. Did he change to match the soil or have I just lucked out and mine is unusally dark?

Any info is apreciated. Sorry no pics.
