Problems with my western toads.. Chytrid suspected (pics)

There is a Documentary called The Thin Green Line that has a lot of info on how the Chytrid fungus has effected the frog population of the world and how some are trying to fight it.

that was very moving! very very good.. lets put the severity of this into perspective so some may better understand the impact of this Chytrid Fungus. If there were a disease out there similar to Chyrtid that infected humans. It would be a plague of biblical proportions. imagine an infection that could do this to us. This would exceed the impact of the black plague, so to speak in those times of course, which killed almost 50 percent of the worlds population. Chytrid which as wiped out 60 percent of the worlds population of frogs (if i read it right/ kinda hard to believe). of course we cant compare a humans immune system with a frogs. But none the less that is how serious Chytrid is to the frogs of the world. And it is something that must not be ignored.

when a frog has this they die a very painful terrifying death. I cant even imagine something like that killing me. I can give descriptive details of frogs i caught from the wild die from this. Although I wish not to elaborate via thread but if anyone wants to know what happens i will tell you through PM. not sure if you really want details whoever.
