Anyone here have Cane Toads?

[demon amphibians]

I have two cane toads. the males are smaller and tend to be a solid dark color. My female looks a lot like yours she is much lighter then the male with more pattern. when your toad gets lighter and moist it could mean that it just shed. Mine just shed a few days ago and that is exactly how i would discribe her. They eat their skin so you wont find it around the tank as you would a lizard. I want more of them. I actually want to breed them but i lack the space required.

I have 1 female cane toad named Bubba,when they shed they skin color will turn lighter for a day or a few hours,your cane toad is a girl since she is a dark color.

I read that the males were darker in color with less pattern. either way the one that i suspect is a female is twice the as the darker one. when i got them they were both the same size. I am still learning a lot about these guys. One is larger then my american bullfrog yet it will not even attempt to eat large sized prey like the american bullfrog will. The smaller the prey the more interested they seem. they even shy away from adult dubia at times. Dont get me wrong i have gotten them to eat small mice and even large hissers. But they like smaller bugs more.

I only just saw this and yes I agree. My cane toad won't go after anything larger than a locust or Dubia but my african bullfrog is a beast and isn't afraid of anything.

• I have 2, both recent acquisitions about 4 months ago , one from a reputable dealer, one from not so much...both are originally from Surinam, where the native variety seem to grow the largest.
• acclimation is not easy, I have had 5 others in the past, and learned a lot since. Finally eating after several treatments of Flagyl and Panacur , but very picky.....Karen (in the pic)is up from 685 gms to 1 kg finally!
• i agree that the stories of 4 pounders are BS.
• here is her xray from her vet check

Cane toads are loose in florida where i live and are considered a pest. They eat our native oak and wood toads and have poisoned many a dog. While i find them very interesting, i can not allow them to romp in my yard due to the fact i own dogs.
But i have captured them for educational purposes because i train with a local dog training club. So i take the canes in for people to see what a live cane toad looks like. And if i get lucky enough to locate a native toad i can bring it in for comparison.
For a toad they are pretty personable. Shame they were introduced to this area.

Also male canes have a splotchie patten on their underbellies much more then females and they have a dark bruised colored throat area. Both will churp when held if they don't like it.

I have been contemplating a Cane Toad, my local Reptile Store has two, but the size kinda intimidates me and I hear they eat a butt load....are they friendly?

I have a friend that claims that he has gotten a worse bite from his Cane Toad than any of his snakes.
