    Honestly? I'd ask questions like - how long do they have it for? Look if he looks okay and healthy. Ask what are they feeding him?
    I have no doubt it's a WC, thus be ready for treating. And from what I know in general toads are more forgiving to care flaws then frogs.

    And yes after qt id keep like a pac but bigger tank, but would do more in depth research of his natural habitat, seasonal changes, things like that, I wouldn't trust any care sheet straight on unless they are written by somebody I know or trust.

    You have more frogs, so full on qt....and I would suggest to use gloves unless you wanna test what they were testing in that study lol
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    I think for the time being I may hold off till I know more about these toads, it was one of those I love that and I have to get it kind of feelings when I saw them, but now that I have done a little reading and stuff I have come to the conclusion that I need to do a lot more research before getting these. And I imagine he could get them for me in the future, he is pretty good like that. And ya those were some of the questions I was going ask him, and I go in there a lot and this is the first time I have seen these there and he gets a lot of different reptiles and amphibians in there so who knows how much he even actually knows about this species himself. Oh and he got them on the 9th. I was actually going in there to see if he got in an Ornate that I asked for but it wasn't in yet, I think I will wait for him and do some more research on this toad. And I was getting the Ornate when he arrived even if got these this week, no one was being left behind. And Lija thank you so much for helping me find out what the proper name was, and thanks for the links and info I imagine it is going to help me further my research an reading a lot.

    No probl, it was fun and when you learn smth new it's nice!

    if he got in on 9th... I'd be a bit scared, that would mean it's a fresh import =really stressed out animals, probably not eating and there is no way of knowing otherwise.

    Yep, get ornate! Lol these are monsters lol or you can always drive south ( I call it family vacation, cos driving just to get a frog sounds nutty lol) and get ornate shipped to US fedex
