    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....

check out this fat toad i caught

cool

Cool pics.
Toads are among the most underappreciated of all herps i think.
Have you ever seen exsul or or debilis up close?
Very beautiful indeed.


Wait till you get your hands on a colorado river toad!
That's an awesome beast!
(and no i don't mean awesome for any reasons other than how it looks and acts ; ) )
 
I like even dull colored toads

When I showed the maintenance man of my building an adult sized African dwarf clawed frog I had at the time he asked me "Would you like a toad?" I said "Sure" since I always wanted a pet toad.

He said he had some friends who had those dull brown or green toads that live on Northern Indiana soil. He said people were accidently running over them with their cars and he'd ask if he could grab me a couple. They said "Take as many as you want!"

By the time I had a chance to set up a terrarium for them he wasn't speaking to them for a while.

Now that I have 5 firebelly toads in a tank he said he's on good terms with them and will get me the toads. As colorful as the firebellies are, I plan on making some separate tank space for the Indiana toads. I'd love to have something native in my apartment as well as my more exotic pals.

I think toads are cute!:poke2:
 
That’s a big American Toad. I can't tell a lot about it from the pic. What state did you find it in?
My favorite is the Colorado River toad, also. I'm posting a pic of some I used to have. I haven't been able to replace them because they're hard to find for sale and cost too much is you do find them. We can thank the "junkie" for that.

They are eating an dry food that I make for insectivores. Just start out with some meal worms in the bowl till they realize that it's food.
