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.

[JubJub326]

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
