    Default Introducing "Pinky" the Southern Toad.

    I acquired this little guy on September 22nd - the kids at my job found him hopping around the playground. Knowing his rarity I decided to keep him. He lives with my other 2 Southern Toads in my aviary I have for my pigeons & Budgies (natural pest control). He looks far better now then when I picked him up. He's an interesting color - I know he's not albino but I think the term is Leucistic?
    I don't know how to put images on this site so here are links for the pictures. They're all crappy quality due to being taken on my phone - enjoy!

    This is the day I got him:

    Amazing, simply amazing! Make sure you don't use to many intense lights for that guy! Also, self explanatory, but he'd/she'd never survive in the wild, so make sure you make her nice and healthy in captivity! We have care-sheets if you need them, so if you run into any bumps along the way, be sure to let us know!

    (P.S. I'd love to see future updates when available )

    Thanks - I actually found him wild & decided to keep him. He was a decent size when I found him which was pretty surprising (of course he's grown quite a bit since then!)
    His habitat is actually a large outdoor bird aviary - so he's not kept inside or in a tank but instead is "free range". The birds don't bother him or the other 2 Southern Toads I have in there. They basically live as wild toads with lots of water access, dirt they can dig in & an endless supply of bugs! The Aviary is 9 feet long & 6 feet in width so the Southern toad gang has a lot of room.

    Thank you - glad to be here. Hoping to learn more about breeding these guys (although it may never happen with my schedule) & of course get good advice if something wrong ever happens with my little friends. I should try to get photos of my other 2 plain Jane Southern Toads - just got to find them first in the habitat. It's been kind of cold lately so they've been burrowing.
    If he ever needs a new home I'll keep you in mind
