    Sonoran Desert Toad! (Incilius alvarius)

    My fiancé got me a Colorado river toad for my birthday and I am super duper stoked. She doesn’t chirp in any way, and she doesn’t have nuptial pads, so I’m guessing she’s a female! She’s 5in SvL, so...

    Re: Is This Normal Behavior?

    Apologies for being so late to the game. First of all, that is WAY too much salt. Salt doesn't evaporate with the water, so even marine fishkeepers top off with fresh water and don't add salt unless...

    I've been feeding earthworms sourced from my backyard, as well as cave crickets that I catch from my grandma's storage room. Her storage room is absolutely infested and since the crickets don't get...

    Good LPS in NW Arkansas or Kansas City?

    Re: White Flies

    They also might be fungus gnats, which breed in wet soil and often come in on houseplants. I had that problem with my toad's enclosure; I had to pull all her soil out and replace it. I baked the soil...

    I've never had problems with nightcrawlers when feeding any of my critters. IME crickets seem to be more prone to parasites than nightcrawlers are.

    Why not work with her and offer nightcrawlers? Nightcrawlers are a fantastic staple, highly nutritious, and chitin-free.
