Toads

Toada are any of a number of species of amphibians in the order Anura characterized by dry, leathery skin, short legs, and snout-like parotoid glands. The bumps on a toad's skin help the animal blend into its environment visually by breaking up its outline. Though common in popular culture, the distinction between frogs and toads is not made taxonomically, where toads are spread across families Bufonidae, Bombinatoridae, Discoglossidae, Pelobatidae, Rhinophrynidae, Scaphiopodidae, and Microhylidae. Bufonidae is the family of the true toads, they are the only family of anurans all members of which are known as "toads." The bufonids now comprise more than 35 genera, Bufo being the most widespread and well known. Here you may post messages or questions pertaining to all aspects and issues regarding the keeping, breeding, health, and conservation of species and subspecies of Toads.
