Finding the Oak Toad (Bufo quercicus)

[kueluck]

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

I had no idea that place had bad reviews, sorry... Any luck on finding your Oak Toads yet? It seems I have accidentaly run across one of them my self. I rescued a toad ove the summer that had been torn up by crayfish (his back leg). He had a pretty bad infection and the skin and muscle was just hanging off his little leg. Well, I got him back to full health, but the muscle damage to his leg is very apparent. The skin grew back, but the muscle, of course, did not. So I kept him. And I am glad I did. I was trying to find out what kind of toad he was for the longest time, and he did not fit the toads I find here in Missouri, not to mention he is TINY and is not growing despite the fact that he is a well fed little piggy! It turns out that my step-son brought him back from Florida and put him in his mothers fish pond where he was trapped with little land and crayfish. Only after thinking about it for a while did I realize that this is where the toad had come from, so I asked him and sure enough he finally admitted he had snuck him back home. My little toad is so cute! Thuogh I am not pleased with my step-son for bringing him back. I don't believe he would have made it through ou cold winters up here.
