Last night i found this gulf coast toad with no back legs. He wasnt bleeding. It was jus a stub. A nub. So ive decided to take it in and give it a good home. its pretty big so hes made it so far from predators. I think ill call him stavie...like from "The Ringer". Any body got any care info on this guy? Thanks

Without legs, it sure looks a lot like a Ball Python. IMHO

I once found a northern leopard frog with only one leg. It was adult so it had made it far in its life so I just kept it for a few days and fed it a bunch of crickets and released it on the next rainy night.

If you can find a good care sheet for American toads, I don't think you'd go wrong applying the same care to Gulf Coasts. Most native American Bufos are pretty hardy captives and require pretty similar care. Good luck w/ the little guy.

I wonder if it had been a victim of 'gigging' (chopping off the legs of toads for frog-legs) earlier in its life. I'm not sure if toads can survive that, but I know it is really common for people to just cut the legs off of live toads/frogs and throw them back. At least in the southern states where I live.
