Congratz again Seth. I wish you would breed Bufo speciosus or Bufo cognatus though .

Being a texan I can't really breed any native texas toad species as a few years ago they made it illegal to have more than ten individuals of any one native reptile/amphibian species or 25 individuals total without going through the hassle, expense, record keeping and reporting requirements of becoming a "permitted" dealer. Given that one breeding of any native toad species would put me way over the legal limit for non-dealers and a total lack of a market I just don't work with native texas toads. Only way I might go to the trouble of working with texas toads now is if I were to get a color mutation of a native toad species which I could in theory actually make a little money by breeding if it proved out. Cognatus is a nice toad though.

You should try Bufo boreas Seth, the populations from my childhood frogging ponds are gone
