New Sonoran Desert Toad

lol so since i mistaked the GPT's for a SDT i had to go and get a actual SDT for my Collection. he is still a baby but already about the side of my hand easy. He is super food aggressive as most big toads are like this and when I try to clean poop out of his container he trys to stick his tongue to me...its freaky lol...

Nice toad! You have the ID correct this time. It's possible that's an adult male - it might not grow much more.

[SiNi5T3R]

Really? How can u tell it'd a male

[John]

I don't know if it's a male or not, just guessing. Males have flabbier throats that are usually darker than those of females. They also have nuptial pads on the front thumbs.

[SiNi5T3R]

What do the pads look like? If I pushed slightly on his head glands would poisons come out really easy? How toxic is the poisons? They r helusinegenic aren't they?

[ToadPaparazzi]

How toxic is the poisons?

The poison can easily kill a dog.

[ToadPaparazzi]

They r helusinegenic aren't they?

The poison is known to have hallucinogenic qualities... Probably not worth the risk or damage to your body though.

Gaah, I'm so jealous of you americans with your beautiful Sonoran Desert Toads and American Bullfrogs! (the first is like 99.9% impossible to get here and the other is illegal to own)

They r helusinegenic aren't they?

Yes, please don't lick it!

There was a thread about nuptial pads (http://www.frogforum.net/toads/4786-nuptial-pads.html). These are from a mature Woodhouse's toad but they give you the general idea... Male toads of some species (certainly Woodhouse's toads) have much bulkier arms than the females - my guys look like professional wrestlers compared with the females (even though the females are much larger)... I don't know if this is true of SD toads... John?

I have a male and a female that I'm looking to sell. I'm charging 100 dollars each! I love em both and they make great pets but I'm movinG out soon and can't take care of them. You can email me for questions or pics.. Harriscodyryan@yahoo.com

@Toadmaster. Unless the people are local don't plan on selling them they wont make it past the mail people lol. Also if you get caught by fish and game trying to sell them on craigslist or some other site you can be charged with a felony and like a 10000$ fine. A friend of mine got caught selling a gilamonster and now has a felony lol


As far as the toad, I went out and got me two more last night. One is really large and one is small and completely missing a whole leg. Looks clean off as if it was born like that. One time we seen a frog that had a S shaped spine...lots of morph problems with frogs out here hahahhaha
