Mt Son's Bufo

[Dog Shrink]

We had the pleasure of being the caretakers of this wonderful toad for about 4 years before she finally passed away. We called her Miss Toad (yeah I know real original :main_rolleyes:, and I'm pretty sure she was a Bufo. I didn't think I had any pics of her but I was going thru photo albums today and was pleasantly surprised to find one of her so... Here she is... in all of her wonderful toady goodness

as you can see she certainly wasn't lacking food during her time with us... check her out eye balling that worm I miss her. She was fun.

What??? No one likes Bufos???

 

[snakegirl]

aww, what a cute toad!

 

[Dog Shrink]

Aw thanks my son (and I) appreciate your compliment. She was pretty groovy

 

[snakegirl]

looks like she knew how to throw a party ( ;

 

[Dog Shrink]

Sure did as long as the party revolved around FOOD... she was a piggers

 

[monkeytechahoo]

that is a FAT toad. *lol* She was a cute one.

 

[Dog Shrink]

She was a bit of a load wasn't she. She'd take up pretty much the entire palm of your hand. Like I said tho... she NEVER missed a meal that's for suer. She transitioned really well to captivity, and was a great friend for the time we had her. My son was looking at the posts last night and saw the one where I said I missed her, and he was like "ya know mom, now that I think about her I miss her too". It was sad. Maybe we'll just have to save another

What housing was she in? Cool toad.

 

[Dog Shrink]

We kept her in a 20 gallon tank with a screen top lid and a heat bulb. She had a big piece of driftwood that she used as a hide on one end as it was sort of flattish and cave like whereas the other end was more branch like and she would sit up there to get closer to the heat sometimes but not alot, about 3-4 inches substrait, msotly yard dirt mixed with some sphagnum moss and repti bark. Also a bowl of water. It was a 6 inch ceramic crock that had a rock in it so that she could either soak completely or just "wade" if she wanted to. We also had rocks leading up like stairs on the outside too so she could get in. As you can see she was a bit of a "beefy" gal

Haha, what a fattie. Toads are such personable little guys, reminds me of my younger days when I used to catch em and keep em.

 

[Dog Shrink]

Isn't she a sweet lil fattie that's not really fat... that's the love of a 10 yr old boy shinin thru such a character... I should just catch another one next summer insted of going with the euro green toad aye... altho I have yet to see another americanus (apparently my $3 dollar word for the day ) as pretty as Miss toad was. She had some awesome reds in her.
