Thanks for all your input...It is really cool to get to just watch them do their thing and the more I observe the more I really enjoy the toads! It's funny because having a creek going through my backyard I get all kinds of friends that stop by and see the frogs hanging on the edge of the water all the time...I also have a pool and on Saturday rescued a little toadlet from the pool filter...he was wiped out when I got him out...I put him under a bush and stayed there for a day and then he moved on. Then found a salamander swimming in the pool and my 2 year old son put him back in the creek.
The craziest thing I have seen so far was the HUGE Snapper turtles that made their way up the creek and in my mulch to bury their eggs....we had 3 stop by but one of them was so big-head, body, tail...it looked like something pre-historic! In addition, we have a lab named Scratchy who is in love with his new home, a cat Tailey who thinks she is a LION...and our Koi are in temporary housing until we get our pond up and running...it is just crazy...my house is like a mini zoo!! Bunnies, nosy chipmucks, a robins nest and a sparrow nest in my outside light...we only moved about 5 minutes from our old home but since we are backed up to a reservior we just have everything hanging around!!! My son just loves it and so do we![]()
