Hey guys, I’m new here and a big fan of toads since I first met them as a kid. Here’s my interaction with a real big one!
Shoutout to the cameraman for his 'unique' filming style *sarcasm*, please don’t judge harshly 🙏🏼
Found this western toad, Carson City NV
New to this group. Just wanted to say Hi and show off the family of toads that live on my back porch.
Hey guys! Great news!
I posted about 10 days ago concerning a weird bacterial spot on my boys back and was able to squeeze him in a vet appointment after about a week of methelyne blue soaks. Not only has the spot on his back almost completely cleared up at this point, but the vet was able to do a scrape swab of the spot and found no harmful bacteria left! Yay for Pedro!
She said it's looking like the infection itself is gone and the rest is scar tissue that might stick around for a little bit longer, but like I said that's fine with me since it's reduced to literally half a fingernail sized spot on his back. He's been feeding normally, moving well, soaking constantly and recently gave me a great bowel movement to clean up (but I did it anyway bc that means he's healthy).
Pedro says thank you all!
Edit: If you want to see my original post, his symptoms and the initial presentation, you can find it over here if you are concerned you may be dealing with something similar or are just curious. A deep thank you to the two posters who guided me in the right direction in the threads of the post!
Someone gave their toad to me as they no longer wanted to care for it after a year of having it and it's in horrible condition. I've never seen a toad like this and am desperate to help it. I have it in a quarantine tank away from my other toads on damp paper towels with plastic hides. Is there anything at all I can do for it? I have zero experience with unhealthy toads. I tried to get a regular picture but it doesn't let me look at its stomach for long. Its fingers had skin peeling but that skin seems to mostly be off now since I moved it to this tank. The lower stomach has an orange-red color. The skin on top of the toad is shiny and sticky. Any help is appreciated.
They’re loud, they’re doofy, and they’re BACK. My backyard is filled with toads again and I’m very excited. With just one step outside, I saw 5 toads immediately.
Parking lot toad we saved from being crushed a little less than a year ago as a fresh toadlet abouse the size of my thumbnail. His favorite thing to do besides eat flies, worms and roaches is to find a nice leaf and sit in it. As he has gotten bigger this has become a problem, he often breaks them now.
Pretty sure it’s a toad. Just unsure if it’s a cane toad or native. South Florida
Recently got in a pair of what are claimed to be marbled toads????? (Bufo Stomaticus) they’re currently settling in and being treated for worms n other parasites. What should I name em? (If they both are healthy and thrive in captivity I plan to breed em) I’m also unsure if these are 100% marbled toads so if anyone has any other guesses I’m curious to know.
Found this 2nd overwintered baby in a strawberry patch, next to a random forgotten roof tile - I've been using these to secure the edges of my frost/bird protection covers.
So it seems I have the ideal shelter material already? I've got a big pile of those ancient roof tiles.
Minutes later I gently lifted the tile and, sure enough, the baby was under it.
Now I added a plate of water next to the tile. Good or bad move? I could probably add another tile to partly cover the water if needed..
... Found it only because I wanted to take a picture of the cats... The toad was under leaks behind the black cat...
