A couple weeks ago i caught a big fat western toad in my driveway. i figure it was old (i hear they live over 30 years) because it wasnt interested in eating. anyhow, we let him free. must have been too wild?

anyhow, does anyone here have any experience with these guys? where to find them, what to look for... what time of the year do the babies come out? i remember when i was a kid, my friend and myself collected about 60 babies and let them free in the back yard lol
i went back to that spot recently and only found some frogs, and very few tadpoles from what i could see.

heres some pics of the big guy i had...
