    Default PLEASE HELP... Conjoined toads

    So here is the deal and please don't hate me. I really am not a frog lover... SORRY. However, I need some help and can't seem to find it anywhere. I have a pond in my front yard and I ALWAYS have frogs laying eggs in it. Yesterday I saw a frog in it and took him out. Only when I pulled him out there were actually two of them. At 1st I thought they were mating. Lovely... more frog eggs! However, upon closer inspection I realized the frogs were deformed. They are siamese twins! One is piggyback riding the other. They are SOOO weird. I believe they are southern toads. I sent a few pictures of them out and was told that this type of genetic mutation is extremely rare. The guys are fairly large, about the size of my hand. I want to keep them or find them a home where they will be properly taken care of. Obviously the guys, which I have named Bogo (Buy One Get One) and Hitch (Hitchhiker) are rare. Does anyone know what I should do with them? Thanks in advance
    P.S. I would love to post a picture of them, but I don't know how to upload one on here. I'd be happy to email a pic to anyone who wants to see them or if someone can explain to me how to do it I will get pics up here of my boys, or girls for all to see.

    Are they joined like this? If so, they are not conjoined.

    Hey there.

    Yeah that definatly sounds like a genetic mutation. As far as uploading pictures on here, when you click "Reply" scroll down a little bit. There's a button named "Manage Attachments". Click that and you'll get a pop-up window with the photo attachment manager. Then where it says "Upload a file from your computer" click Browse. Find the file, in your case the photo you want, then click the "upload" button to the right. It will take a little bit to upload, so don't exit out of it. After it's done uploading click "Close" at the bottom. You can upload multiple photos at one time if you'd like.

    I'd love to see pictures if you have them.

    This time of year I would say they are just in amplexus as John demonstrates here. Send a pic from my website email below showing the attachment point please.
