76357The Firefighter Impostor --New Mexico Spadefoot (Spea multiplicata)
Oh man, I would be so excited if I ever got eggs! The toads have no problem "having fun" with one another, but they never seem interested in laying eggs. :/
I was worried I may have to take him to a vet...but luckily it seems he finally learned his lesson and stopped calling on his own. I've been keeping his cage near me all day (yay unemployment) so I...
My little Herbert is injured, and needs some help.
He is quite frisky, which got him into this mess. He was "going after" Witwoo, one of my female Plains spadefoots. Usually when this happens, I...
I doubt it would be a big deal looking into the frogs themselves. I have kept similar frogs together before that weren't the same species. For instance, I have two colonies of spea multiplicata and...
Hello, my name is Lindsay and I am addicted to spadefoot toads.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way...
When I go to feed my spadefoots, I always dig them up. I figure it's only fair,...
72031The Impostor is ready for his ladies (Spea multiplicata).
He's acting perfectly normal, which is almost more baffling. He seems to really enjoy being in the water. I check on him every so often...I just don't want to stress him out. I'll try giving him some...
I can't do anything until Monday because everything is closed (seriously--how can some vets treat reptiles and not amphibians?). Do you think I should try to feed him in the meantime? Anything I can...
Hello,
I just got my new spadefoots, and one of them has this weird discolored bump on his back. I have ordered from this company multiple times and every time I've been rewarded with healthy,...
Hello,
I just got a Cuban Tree Frog and your frogs look quite similar. I think they are in fact Cubans.
Pinchy is a girl! I am so pleased to hear this! I read somewhere that females live longer than males. I will do the best I can to give her a good home.
This is Pinchy. He is a crawfish (although I have no idea what kind of breed he is). I got him at the local bait store as food for the Pig Frogs, but he managed to not get consumed. As he got larger...
I don't know. Honestly, if the toad dies within 24 hours that seems suspicious to me. I'm surprised he wouldn't offer to refund you the money or send another toad. That's what I would have done. Kind...
NM Spadefoots are the best. I bet he was what you had...they're so common out there that they're the state amphibian! You should adopt more ;) But I am just convinced they should be the next big...
68938New Mexico Spadefoots (Spea multiplicata). These little weirdos have me wrapped around their fingers. I live for them, and their quirky personalities.
My rule of thumb is that if they're found in the same habitat and can hybridize, it should be fine. The biggest concern at that point would just be that one toad isn't too much bigger than another....
Thank you! She is my little princess, and I spoil her too much. She knows this. Your babies are super cute as well! Life with frogs is the best.
I have so many frogs. I'll do just one for now:
your frog's name (if any): Aspartame
species (and latin name if possible) New Mexico spadefoot (Spea multiplicata). Although, I suspect she may...
Also, I keep this just in case anyone says that they're really just for "responsible pet ownership". Feel free to use this if you guys ever need it <368412
Maybe it's because they're so anti-pet? Kerry is very adamant about ending the pet trade--even with captive bred animals.
Thanks for the great input! We got the frogs finally about three weeks ago, and they're quite amusing to watch.
The tank is probably about 3/4 water (I am honestly just guessing). I got some great...
Oh my gosh...she is so pretty! And are you planning on keeping all the tadpoles when they become toadlets?
Sounds like my living room on any given night ;D
But in all seriousness, what a fun video! I'd give anything to see spadefoots in the wild.
