Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

why is it that reptiles eating mice, rats, bunnies, chicks, gunnia pigs, hamsters or fish doesnt bother me, But a snake eating a toad/frog would. I know it is the way of things in nature.
Yes i know there are plenty of reptiles and mammals that reptiles/amphibiams are a staple of thier diet.
I dont think I could keep a snake that i had to keep feeding toads too.

I actually had pretty good luck switching easterns over to rat pups or hairless mice. A little bit of toad juice (which they are more than willing to offer up, in most cases) for scenting the first few times, then rarely a problem. I can't recall if I ever even tried furred mice...I had a good supply of hairless stuff, so probably not.

It's been awhile since I've used this method, but it used to work for me. If you own your own land or have land owners permission, dig a hole and place a five gallon bucket so that the top of the bucket is level with the ground, then use some of the cheap plastic landscaping edging and put about six feet lengths on each side of the bucket, to funnel the toads into the bucket. If its placed in a good area traveling toads will follow the edging and drop into the bucket. Be sure to check it everyday though. Or you can wait for a nice rainy night and drive some country roads. Good Luck.

The very best method
in most places of the USA is the buddy system. LOL ! Meaning : after a rain storm go driving with someone and take a less driven road. Whether it night ( the best ) or day there is normally numerous species of toads and frogs out on roadways. I've been out at night and saw so many toads after a rain that my swerving didn't matter as to still accidental hitting some. When looking to pick up I have these surgical gloves that the passenger wears in order to pick up the species. Why the gloves ? Because their ( passenger picker upper ) complains on the pee pee that the toad and frogs do in hand ! another > LOL !
