Don't have any pictures yet, but I will hopefully get some today, when we take the puppies back to their shed where all the pets in my family go now. It has air conditioning and everything, so kind of proud of it

Well today not only did I find a unknown species of tadpole, I found this bright orange toadlet! Not painted or anything, a natural complete orange color! I don't typically name my animals right off the bat, but little Fireball is an exception! Hopefully I will get some photos of him/her soon!

Just so you know, I have researched, and ironically, not only is the new toadlet an American Toad, the tadpole is too! So would it be bad for me to keep it with the fowler's toadlet, especially if they are very closely related?

[Cliygh and Mia 2]

Yeah, definitely American Toadlet, and an American Toad tadpole. Is it bad to keep the toadlet with my Fowler's Toadlet? It is with it for now at least, which is why I am asking, so please respond!

Even if they were the same species I would separate them since they were collected at different times. At this tiny size they don't need a huge living space, so the extra work in separating them is pretty small and the potential drawbacks of not separating them could be large.


Aside- if you consider pouring water on your cereal a very bad accident, you lead a charmed life.

Okay, I have a tank divider, and I went to check on them, the one that I caught first is larger than Fireball by a centimeter, so I will separate them, and maybe I will move him to the tank infested with springtails, if he does not eat crickets like the other one

Well I did lose a tooth in an Ihop restaurant once, but that is a different story for another day!

Soory it took so long, but I do not have photos of the Fowler's Toadlet, the pictures messed up so I have to take new ones. Just of the two Americans, Fireball and the yet-to-be-named tadpole, so here they are!

Oh, and the pictures don't do Fireball justice, he was so orange when I caught him, I thought he was a coin at first!
