Hey guys, when I was visiting family in the Southlake/Dallas area of Texas, I stumbled across this little guy, half dead, in their pool filter. I usually would never take an animal away from its natural habitat, but I felt a responsibility to nurse him back to health, so I ended up bringing him home with me to California. He lives in a 20 gallon tank, which I furnished to mimic the stream near the house in Texas (I even bought native plants from the area for it). He is now very healthy and an active eater.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what he is! With around 43 species of frogs/toads in Texas, and the fact that I don't believe he is mature since he is the size of an american penny, identification has been difficult. He keeps to the solid ground, but doesn't dig whatsoever, so I don't think he is a spadefoot.

If anyone could offer some insight on my little friend, I'd greatly appreciate it!^u^
