Japanese Toad

[mikesfrogs]

They are hard to get into the US. Not a large demand for them and its only worth bringing them in if hundreds could be sold.

Another person and I are trying to get some imported. However the date of shipment keeps getting pushed back. Not sure why but I don't really have a reason to doubt the guy I'm getting them from as I haven't given him any money yet (so no reason to string me along). The same thing is happening with some frogs from Africa. The date of shipment keeps getting changed.

But if all goes well I should be getting some toads soon. I've seen a lot of videos of them on youtube besides that one. They seem kind of common in the pet trade in Japan. Or maybe just Japanese people collect their own. But I'm friends on youtube with a couple of Japanese guys that have pet Japanese toads. They don't seem so different than American Toads. Just some of them can get pretty big.

Here is one shedding. It's pretty neat.

thats good to hear. Larger sizes are pretty common I gues, the wiki lists their size. The B J Formosas is the same way but slightly smaller. Hopefully neither habitat is near the fukishima plant...

Guys if you succeed in importing some to the UK, I would be interested in buying one some day. But poke me if you get or have gotten them over; I would love to have a male of these.

cool. I finally got me a suriname bufo at a reptile show, it's nearly 12 inches. I was able to get it to eat a mouse. It's too bad I can't get grasshoppers here, I wish I could because I could do a better job feeding it. the dubias never get eaten by my bullfrog or my small cane toad because they are always under the water dishes.

Put the feeder bugs in dishes, this way they can't burrow or hide under things. I do this will all my frog & toads.
