Toads

[Tom Highum]

Has anyone heard of any of these toads in the pet trade?

Amietophrynus pantherinus (These guys look really cool)
Bufo mauritanicus

Cranopsis valliceps

Nevermind the red one they are endangered (sadly for me and them)

[Kurt]

Amietophrynus pantherinus (Smith, 1828), western leopard toad I am considering writing an article on this species.

Bufo mauritanicus (Schlegel, 1841), berber toad

Cranopsis valliceps is a synonym for Ollotis valliceps (Weigmann, 1833)

Yeah, I have heard of them.

[Tom Highum]

Have they been kept as pets before, to your knowledge. And these articles that you write what do you do with them?

[John]

Johnny keeps Bufo nebulifer, which until a few years ago was considered to be valliceps. He has plenty of photos on the forum.

do you think you could catch them in the wild somewhere? are they common toads?

[John]

Bufo nebulifer is found around the gulf coast of the USA. When I lived in Texas I could find hundreds on a rainy night.

Amietophrynus pantherinus is from South Africa and is listed as endangered.

Bufo mauritanicus is found in North Africa and is listed as LC or least concern.

I am really thinking of writing an article about Amietophrynus pantherinus for meet the frog series

[Tom Highum]

Hmm that would be great Kurt. Thanks

[Kurt]

Hopefully I will get to work on it before the weekend is over.

[Tom Highum]

It seems like the meet the frog articles are intros to some future care sheets.
Also how often do the meet the frog articles come out?

[John]

Another one just came out: http://www.frogforum.net/tree-frogs/...tree-frog.html

[Kurt]

As soon as John can post them.

As soon as John can post them.

I wish it were that simple. John has to format them and plug them into the CMS too.

[Tom Highum]

Haha why can't Kurt do that?

[Kurt]

I don't have that power.

[John]

I don't have that power.

And you need an editor anyhow (me).

[Kurt]

It's always good to have someone look over whatever you have written and look for mistakes, both technical and grammatical.
