Terry, have you had a chance to see HDZoo's amphib quarantine zone and the work they've been doing with these guys?
I sure have! Last year I had an opportunity to work in the Amphibian Conservation Area at HDZoo. They are doing a fantastic job with amphibs. They finally got a few of these these guys out in public where people can see them rather than being hid in restricted areas. When I was working there, they had about 25 individuals with several toadlets.
