Leucistic Southern Toad found.
Found this (see attached) leucistic Southern (?) Toad yesterday in my yard. Recognized his vulnerability immediately and decided to save him. Can anyone tell me the rarity? I haven't seen much on the net about leucistic ones. If rare, what kind of value would a toad like this have? I plan to keep it though.
Also, I don't have any experience with frogs and toads. A critique of the habitat I set up would be really appreciated. I've got him (or her?) in a plastic hexagon shaped tank with about two inches of eco-earth, a half log, food dish and pond dish. He ate two small green grasshoppers from the yard yesterday and today I started feeding him store bought mealworms. He ate four of them...but how many SHOULD I feed him daily and when? Any other tips and recommendations would be helpful. I really don't want to risk losing him. Thanks!!!!
