Cane toad?

[Kurt]

I was wondering if my toad would get as big as it says they get(9inch). When they say 9inches do they mean legs extended as well?

That's 225 mm snout to vent. Legs not included.

Shes a fussy eater. only eats earthworms, crickets, mealies, and waxies. Does anyone know how I can correct that behaviour?

I see nothing wrong with this diet,

And how I can make her feel more at home. She doesnt hide when no ones around or doesnt notice you. But shes fearful of humans. Anything that can help her coax into not being afraid and showing her face everyonce in a while?

Give it time.

How big is the 225mm in inches? xD Sorry Iam a little slow sometimes. Also the cane toad, my brother wants her. :U I like my brother and hes good with animals. Should I give it to him?(Kinda was giving in due to he kept pleading me :U) But uhh. Is this bad for the amphibian? I was thinking after I head off from college Id get her back. So hed just get an experience on her. What do you guys think I should do? I mean my bro, lives in the same house. But is it a good idea? :U

P.s. if it isnt a good idea. I was opting to maybe get him started with a pair of american toads. Since I had em once(catch and release) and they're fairly simple.
I wanted to get him a pair of captive bred ones though. Cause I wanna make sure they arent carrying anything on them if you get my point. Iam also kinda against now of taking animals straight from the wild(kinda grew up a bit from last year). Sooooo. What do you think? Is an american toad a good opt for a 15 year old guy? Hes very persistant like myself, he loves amphibians but hes mainly interested in the true bufo family. Such as myself. Kinda like a brotherly thing. Although he does like treefrogs. I thought a toad would be easier on him. Does anyone know a good breeder or online store that sells high quality, captive bred american toads or other toads?
(yuh Iam a bit selfish when it comes to my pets. Hahaha, I just wanna make sure she isnt too much for him.)
I just want him to have something that he can occassionally look at and if the toad allows it even pick up. I had good experiences with most of the americans. Only ones that never seemed to like humans were females. Ived been noticing a pattern. Female toads=hate humans?

Btw: hes not the kind of kid to bother the animal if the animal does not want to be held. I mean I used to have a pair of small american toads that used to like being hand fed and didnt mind sitting on my lap for a few mins. While my cane toad you cant even get her to look at you. xD

I forgot to thank you kurt. You have been very helpful since my last visit. :] The forums seem dead though. Why is that? D: This place isnt going to shut down right?

[Kurt]

Dead? Actually it quite a live and I am having trouble at times keeping up with it all. Two days ago when I signed on it said I had 146 unread posts. For the most part the numbers have been real high these past two or three weeks.

225 mm = 8.858267716545 inches.

Marine or cane toad care is the same as American toad care for the most part. See the Toad Basic Care for details.

And you're welcome glad to be of assitance.

I have a spare exo terra terrarium its about 17wide x 17long and 17 tall. Would this be good for a pair of american toads? Or for a pair of small toads? Also do you know a good reputable online breeder? Like a site? We rather pay from legit sites. You know? Keep records and stuff. Also. What we are looking for generally in the toad is to be:
1)To look like a regular small brown toad. You know? No odd colors that would be like red, green blue or whatever some toads can have.
2)Somewhat active, even if it isnt active all the time. My definition of toad activity would be:explores every once in a while, highly curious about things, hungry appetite, diurnal or nocturnal is fine. As long as I get to see it.
3)Has a nice call to it like the american toad. I absolutely love the american toad call.
4)Easy. Not a picky eater.
5)Isnt hiding ALL the time. Friend has a green toad, its ALWAYS hiding. He also has a chubby frog same thing.
Idk just acts, sounds and looks like a normal toad. Plump as a melon.

I like the american toad, fowlers and woodhouse toads. I like the colors on them. Iam hoping to get the toads as young. Like min size I want is 2inches. Because I have trouble with a 1inch toad. Id have to feed it fruit flies and thatd be a mess. I want it young. Lasts a long time, you know atleast 10 years or more.
