Bufo Americanus Toxins potentiality

[limnologist]

I doubt a single toad is deadly as they get eaten all the time in the wild. Using them as a staple diet may shorten the frogs life span. Whether you believe it or not they do have toxins in them. There are better options then WC toads.

I only use them as the occasional variety food item. That is very true, American Toads produce Bufotoxin, a substance that is irritable but not so much deadly. So far my feeding the frogs toads has not shortened any life spans. And I can say the same for my Bullfrogs, Pacmans, Axolotls, and many snake species. It just irritates me to hear people freak out because the believe the toxins are extremely dangerous! I know people who won't even handle a toad because they think they will be poisoned!
