Yeah, maybe I have just noticed this behavoir.

And, it does sure seem like water soothes and calms them, because as soon as I put it in the water, it went from breathing odd, to normally.

I was happy, because for the first time last night, I came in to see my black toad soaking on it's own, normally I pick it up, and put it in it's water dish, but it was in it's water dish on it's own accord, no help from me!

Thanks,
