Finding the Oak Toad (Bufo quercicus)

[Hellsrage]

Does anyone know where you can find Oak Toads for sale? Out of all the searching I've done I've found 3 sites that list them but have none in-stock, they're also sites that don't have great reviews.

After Gail(kueluck) suggested them to me in a previous thread I made, I initially wasn't very interested in them but since then I've dug up as much readily available info as I can find. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much info out there on these little guys. Regardless I've become really interested in the Oak Toad, if I can I'd like to get my hands on a couple.

You don't mention what three sites you tried so I may be giving you some redundancy here but have you tried Welcome to Exotic Oddities He seems to have them available most of the time. He's in Florida. I've never done business with him so I can't help you there but I do check his web site from time to time. Oak toads do seem like cool little fellas!

Thank you! I knew I had seen that site before, didn't show in all those Google searches I did . The other three sites were all flipper sites, they never actually handle the animals you buy. Where as Exotic Oddities seems to be field collecting and then shipping by order.

That $100 minimum though, damn. Looks like I better plan on having a large group of them.

During late spring and early summer you'll see more of them available. I'm lucky to have them right here in my state of NC.

I was thinking that might be the case, right around breeding time.

If I were to order through Exotic Oddities, to meet the minimum I would have to order 10 Oak Toads. Do you think I would be able to keep them together if I have something big enough, also what would be big enough for a group that large? Or would it be better to split them into smaller groups?

[Malduroque]

You could put 10 together with enough space and enough hiding places and diligent maintenance. For that though I'd go with a 75 gallon. If you got two 40 gallon breeder tanks you could split them up into two groups of 5. If you went with 20 gallon longs I would put no more than three in each. Err on the side of more space, not squeezing them in.

When you get them please post pics of the little guys and tell of your experience with Exotic Oddities. I'm curious about both.

I've read some pretty bad reviews on that place. I would look elsewhere and then check out the review on the place.
