    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Non-toxic (no canes, fire belly, etc) toads needed to use as feeder. Live or frozen.

Can pick up at the lowcountry reptile expo in SC next month.

Well if it wasn't so cold here I would gladly go collect as many as you needed. There's a minow pond and all the small Fowlers toads are going to be emerging soon. I will be at that show, the one in Charleston right? If you don't get any I can arrange to have as many as you need shipped to you.
 
Yes, I think we can do business, I can use anything from froglings still with the tail, all the way up to full grown adults. How much? If we can’t arrange pick up, they would have to be shipped on dry ice or alive. Can you arrange that? thanks ---Chuck
 
Well I can mostly get you as many dime sized toads as you want. Alive or frozen is up to you. I can arrange the shipping, and I would say $5 a dozen. Plus shipping. They would be appropriate sized for hatchling garter snakes, and in a couple months good enough for med to large garters.
 
I have to keep a garter for my indigenous reptile shows, however, it seems pointless to me to breed them. There is not a market to sell the babies and my coral will not even eat them. I am looking for eastern hognose food. I produced 20 last year and 17 rolled within month. 5 were eating straight pinks and all were taking them scented with a frozen toad, but just did fair well. I want to experiment feeding them toads for a couple months, then switching to pinks when they are better established. Is the $5/dozen price for all sizes of just the little ones? If all sizes, I will probably want about 300 from you. I also have water snakes that feed well on adult frozen/thawed toads. Thanks ---Chuck
 
$5 a dozen for the dime sized fowlers toads. Med. and large $12 a dozen or $2 a piece. If you want them live I can arrange that, I can't gaurantee live arrival of all the animals especially if you want 300. I won't be able to get them for a month or two now. They should be emerging from the ponds in late winter early spring. Let me know how many, frozen, alive, half and half, size you want. I will get back to you when I get them.

Thanks
