Just some tib-bits of info and pic of my amphibian friends.
This is Morph, since gender is unknow at this time. Raised from a tad earlier this year
This is Runway. Neighbors works at airfield and found this little one on the airfield.
Rufus and some of the tiny toads.
Striker, so name because it will strike at anything, even a finger, Morph and one to be released later this summer.
Top is Laurel (f), bottom left Willow (m) and to the right is Sassafras (f). River my large female was released over the weekend. She was raised from tad last year but was never content being locked up in a viv so she got her freedom. We have several grays in the yard, you can hear them call at night.

Morph decided to come up for a soak today. I hate this time of year, 7 toads underground waiting for spring to arrive. Morph and Rufus come up about once every 3 weeks for a soak and maybe a roach or two.

Lynn,
All is great here. And they actually have little alarms. They do this little whistle sound the night before they come up. It's a riot.....crazy toads.

They look great Gail!! Nearly grown up huh?
Great pics , lovely guys you have there.
There's 7 in all but will release some this spring. I'm going to wait and see who does well in captivity. I had one female that all she did was hide and bang up against the glass and when I would put my hand in the viv she would charge me, she was released. Rufus is a keeper, he's a sweetie, the rest.....we'll have to wait and see.

Big Red popped up this morning, haven't seen her in months. Put her in a warm soak and she attempted to strike at a roach, but I guess she's not quite up to it yet. And she's got that good ol' Southern Toad attitude “don't mess with me”.

I am so glad to see someone in NC taking such good care of the toad and frog population.
I am in Raleigh and in the 16 years of living here I only seen a handful of toads and bullfrogs.
I don't even see dead ones in the road (thank good ness.)
This spring I plan on going to my old stomping grounds in Aiken SC and getting a bunch of tadys
and bring them up and raise them to at least 1 year toadlets and release as many as I can.
I may be bias, but Rufus is the cuties Fowlers toad ever.

Some times you just have to say "NO".........but not this time. I picked these 2 up over the weekend at a pet shop. Went looking for WTF, but couldn't resist them since I already had a wonder planted tank going strong for over 2 years, perfect residents for this 20 gallon. So now I have 2 frog vivs, 1 toad viv, and one huge Garter snake cage all in the living room....gives new meaning to "living" room.

CUTE!! No wonder you couldn't resist them. What are they?
American Green Tree Frogs. They are native to us and I see tons of them when we go to Pettigrew State Park in NC, and in Cheraw State Park S.C. during mating season it's almost deafening.

The wait is OVER!! Neighbor emailed me at work yesterday......Petco in G'boro has Whites Tree Frog. I called, and a few hours later, well, let me just show you.
They had the bigger one for over a month & it was housed with about 10 small ones. Right now I have them in separate tanks, since the little ones might let lost in the big tank. All are eating, soaking, pooping and seem to adjusting well to life in the Hill House. They are just CRAZY CUTE!!!!
