I just returned from my yearly expedtion to the Carolinas. I rarely collect anything anymore... I usually just take photos these days. However, this time I happened upon a very large all black Hognose (slightly over 3 feet in length), and with these being my favorite snakes, i decided to make a pet of her.

The problem I now have is procurring toads for her to eat. I live on Long Island and the past few days i've spent going to places where toads used to be common, but i'm finding nothing. It's amazing how rare they've become. No wonder Hognose have all but disappeared on Long Island... nothing for them to eat!

So i'm hoping someone from NY could give me some idea where toads are still fairly common. I only need a few, as i'm going to use them to scent dead mice. If you know anywhere on Long Island, or near Long Island where I could procure a few toads, i'd very much appreciate the info!
