Non-native tree frog I believe. Not sure of the ID. Maybe a juvenile cuban? Not sure on that last part.

I have no doubt that your gutload meets your needs - my gutload meets mine. However, my own experience has been that calcium dusting is necessary for many species of amphibian to avoid metabolic bone...
Repashy Calcium Plus is not a gutload, it's a dusting supplement - completely different thing. You're comparing apples and oranges. Personally, I use an organic chinchilla food as my cricket gutload.
The issue is if you or your cat are going to bite the toad. But I also don't believe in buying wild caught if it can be avoided (this species is only available commercially as wild caught). You...
What happened to the last one?
That's pretty common in adult male toads and many frogs. It's just the vocal sac skin stretching. If you have a photo I can double check but I am not worried from your description.
That's a tough one - impaction usually results in a general swelling of the abdomen in frogs, not such a localized area. In fact, that's forward of most of the intestines and more in the region of...
I use Repashy Calcium Plus exclusively, and have since they released it many years ago. In my opinion, there's no substitute. Everything else is either inferior or not as sticky. I too find it...
No need, I can answer this for you. Anchor worm will persist in the pond - they won't disappear completely just because of a mild English winter. The pond would have to be treated with an...
What type of tree frog is it? What temperature is it in there? Is the substrate moist? Are there many hiding places?
You could try using a heat pad on one end of the terrarium and removing one of the heat lamps. I always find heat lamps to be great for drying out terrariums but not necessarily for heating :P. One...
This is amazing!!
Frankly I think you're overthinking it. I would buy a nice pothos plant from a garden center or big box hardware store and give it a good rinse in case there are chemical residues on the leaves. ...
I highly doubt that the vet knew what they were doing regarding frogs. This is common, unfortunately. Here is what I recommend: do what Eli said with regard to quarantine. Keep it in a quarantine...
That's actually really interesting. A couple of points:
1) As you are aware, normal silicone is lousy for making polypropylene stick together. I am worried this won't stay together reliably for...
Dirt is fine and actually will stick less to the toads than coconut fiber. 1 brick will probably do for that size of container but they are pretty cheap, especially if you get them online (I buy...
Looks like a wound. Keep the frog clean and safe from jagged objects (in case it damages the wound further). I would keep it on moist paper towel that is changed every few days until the wound starts...
Just watch out for vendors selling Strawberry Pineapples as Strawberries. Pat Kline/Dartfrog Depot/snared99 on fauna, did that to me.
Photos as promised. Starfire/Starburst/Sunburst. This is still a youngster.

You can't get it in the trade but you should be able to get similar members of the same genus. There are a few US species related to it - Google gulf coast toad.
I think you're probably right based on range maps and photos at AmphibiaWeb.
Comparing photos to AmphibiaWeb I believe you are correct on both!
Mine is still a baby but I will get a pic.
It's a morph. They are supposed to have orange marks on the top of the body. I've seen them called starburst and sunburst too. I've got one.
