So much indecisiveness....

Found Bufo japonicus, Pluke.
Says they have only been out of stock since October 26th, so maybe they'll be getting in more soon. If they are, I know what I'm getting.

Japanese toads-Various sizes- $16.99

Cool.. I don't know how trustworthy that site is, but if you do give it a shot and you get one let me know. How did you even find that site? Searches never seem to bring up sites like that for me. -_-

Pluke,

I was bored at work, and typed "buy toads" into Google, and found that site, and just browsed through their inventory. They also have Chinese Giant Toads (really not all that big) which are fairly similar in appearance.
I've been reading up on the site and they are drop shippers, but I haven't found anything really good or really bad. I read a thread in the FaunaClassifieds BOI and someone said "it was simply a transaction. not great or terrible."

The guy who owns it has several other sites like it but with difference focuses.


I've got Panacur on hand for whatever kind of toad I end up getting, so I guess at this point, WC isn't too much of a concern.

If they ever get back in stock, I will probably get 2 or three to house in a 50 gallon rubbermaid type tote.

Bad Guy Reptiles N Critters - FaunaClassifieds Look at the links within the thread too.

After doing a little searching on faunaclassifieds it seems there is a lot more negative than positive, I wouldn't take my chances I know that. I'd rather put up a wanted add or something on Fauna.

Where did you get your Panacur? Can you use the same stuff they use on cats/dogs on your frogs?

Ah okay.... damnit!


I got it on amazon. It's the powder kind. And as far as I know you can. You just dust their food with it once or twice a week.

emily please dont buy from fauna classifieds my brother bought 6 big eyes from a breeder on there and when he got them they were deid the guy forgot to put air holes in the tub they were in i have yet to meet any one that has had a truly good experiance from there

Kira...I don't know where you gathered that I was buying from FaunaClassifieds. They have a BOI section and that is what was being discussed.

I'm sorry about your brothers experience with whomever he purchased from. Was there a live arrival guarantee? If a breeder/seller didn't offer that, I doubt I'd buy from them.

You can't let one person ruin a whole site for you. Faunaclassifieds is great and there are a lot of good people there as well as bad, you just have to do your research on the person you might buy from. I hope your brother made a bad guy thread on Fauna to tell everyone how terrible the seller was.

I've never had a problem with cane toads being skittish, but then again I've never kept them in any transparent tanks or dealt with them in a "pet" capacity. My only complaint about them is they're obnoxiously difficult to anesthetize.

What do you anesthetize them for?
Just curious.

A collaborator and I were investigating the mechanics of how they land using a force sensor and X-ray video system, so we needed to implant these poppy-seed-sized metal markers into their bones.
