Pics of the Duttas :)

[victorsgrace]

Okay guys. So in the beginning of June I was fortunate enough to be allowed to pick up as many baby Duttaphrynus melanostictus' (Asian toad), from a state-owned green house facility, that I cared for, for which I am very grateful.

I really wanted more of this breed, but since my experience wig Pig from Germany, who died this sunday from Mycobacteriosis, I didn't want to buy any more via that route. So I gathered 6 little guys of which I plan to keep two males and sell of the rest when they've matured and can be positively sexed - let's see if I can part with them, when time comes If anyone feels like coming to DK with two male Japonicus' traded for two well-loved, well-fed male Duttaphrynus', feel free to PM me! lol

But enough ramble: Here's some photos for you guys to enjoy

Godjira (Japanese for "Godzilla"), male
Very fun guy - scared the hell out of the first night, because he changed skin and sat in the terrarium very straight, all white, with completely black eyes and just stared straight out into the room, looking like the Alien from Alien 4 lol

Meru (actually means "e-mail" en Japanese, but I love the pronounciation (https://translate.google.com/#da/ja/e-mail). Very lively little guy, very good feeder and cheaky. Sex unknown.


Tiny Tim A timid little guy, the smallest of the bunch. Carries three scars from what seems to be a chemical burn and is becoming more and more adventerous and tame for each day. Sex unknown.


Trex Named Trex, because I think he looks like a little T-rex. Very funny guy - can't really figure out his personality yet, but there's something special about him. Sex unknown, but I think male. Will definitely be keeping this little guy.


Prince Valiant Shared in ownership by my best friend, for fun, and his name is the result of her being allowed to name him LOL She says he's got a pretty-boy face in a nancy-kind of way and to be honest, he was the scaredest guy in the bunch of the smallest, although he's better now. But for sure a scaredy-cat Presumably male.


Mumi Is the second largest of the bunch and lives together with Godjira. Very calm and easy going little guy, seems to be very pondering for a toad. Presumably male, but may be female.




So there you go It's so great to have a whole forum as toad-crazy as me - otherwise I would fore sure have no place to off load my mania ;D And if anyone makes it to DK with a Japonicus male, I'm not kidding - you can have two guys for free
