Assuming your toads are at least a year old or so, determining gender is pretty easy. Simply pick your toad up with two fingers under his or her armpits. Apply some light pressure. If your toad is a...

Has anyone ever done this? I plan on breeding American toads in the spring. I've already got a good female, and I'm currently on the lookout for a male. I have a 20L aquarium and I plan on switching...

The bumps on his tibia don't seem to be enlarged, however the coloration/patter suggests an American toad. The only surefire way is to see if his crests touch his paratoid glands, but he appears to...

I'm a relatively new pacman frog owner, and I've found one thing out fast- aquariums are a waste of money. I had just bought a juvenile pacman frog one week ago, and put him in a 10 gallon with coir,...

Okay, thank you for the information!

I just purchased this guy from petsmart today, and I was wondering what species it might be? It's my first Pacman frog. She's bright lime green with black blotches. The contrast is quite striking! My...

Depending on the size, it looks like it may be a Bullfrog tadpole. A lot of frog tadpoles look similar though, so you may be better off just waiting a few weeks until it's metamorphosed. I'm sure it...

I've got a young female American toad with a quite striking pattern. She's light grey with distinct dark grey blotches; it looks very cool. I was thinking about breeding toads next spring, but first...

Thanks for the response! In that case, I think I'll keep both. They're certainly aware of eachothers' presence. They often burrow right next to eachother, even though it's a pretty big tank. One...

I'm aware that American toads are generally solitary in the wild, but what would they prefer in captivity? I currently have two toads in a ten gallon. Tomorrow, I'm buying a 20 long. Would one toad...

Thank you! They were both found under a trash can, at a local park. It looked spacious under there, so something told me I should look under it. Sure enough, two toads! It was pretty dry under there,...

Thanks for the answer, Aaron! I figured as much. Anyone have any clue what the other could be? The dark one definitely has a more voracious appetite. The red one will be done eating after 3-4...

I caught two toads recently at a local park. One is brick red, with black/white mottled sides and a cream white belly. The other is colorless; gray and white. Sometimes black. Both have 3-4 bumps in...

Very cool! Any updates on the toad?

She doesn't make any noise when I do that! I was under the impression that you wouldn't be able to tell that way until a toad has reached sexual maturity, but if what you say is true, that's awesome!...

Thanks for the replies, guys! A few more reasons I think that it may be a female is that it has relatively thin forearms. Also (and this is entirely anecdotal), I've noticed that males tend to sit up...

I have recently happened upon a young American Toad, which I suspect to be female (white throat, no chirping). She's a little more than an inch long. She's too mature to have hatched this spring, so...
