Hi everybody, it's a long rime since my last post..
I wanted to show you what happened in my FBTs (2 males, 1 female) tank this summer. I planned to try to breed my toads next year but.. without any cold period or any rest, in the middle of the hot Italian summer, I found tadpoles in the tank! I was definitely not ready and I was leaving for few days, so I lost most of them, but I was able to raise the survivors! Yesterday they finally "landed" and started they new terrestrial life!
I post some pictures of the metamoprphosis, from the very first stage to the young toadlet with a still long tail.
I don't know exactly what happened. I think that the factor triggering the reproduction was the rising of the water level I performed because I was afraid of the very high temperatures; during summer I'm often away and I was afraid that the tank would dry out.
What do you think? have you ever experienced unexpected breeding?
Anyway, I'm very happy now...
See u!
Marco
