This is the most often-seen toads here because it live with humans not in the forest. We can find it in the garden and park. And in the rainy season quantity will raise. According to the wikipedia, this toad live almost in all Asia from India, China, and southeast asia and in Indonesia itself this toad live in all island in Indonesia. It's a Bufo melanostictus native people often call this toad kodok buduk (kodok means toad, buduk means not taking a bath ). Please comment what do you think about this toad and anyone ever keep it ?
Very nice. I really like the dark markings with it's colouring. looks like someone painted the toe nails.
They are beautiful toads and I have one in my collection. I would love to get another one.
I liked the thin black lines around the eyes, it really sets this species apart from the rest. I bought my frog from a pet shop for about $20. Not bad for an unusual exotic. It was labeled as "Malayan Toad". No one at the pet store knew much about it, so I did some research and was able to identify it. One thing for sure, it eats alot .
To be honest, people will laugh on anybody who keep this as pet because it's like keeping ants as pets (you this toad are common here). People around here call it buduk means dirty like you never take a bath for five days.
Yes it's eat a lot because farmer consider it as pest control against bugs. I have ponds in my backyard and many of this guy wandering around. And that's why my dad very upset because his cricket maybe eaten by them
This toad looks like its wearing makeup! Very gothic...if there was ever a toad that could play alternative metal music, THIS would be the toad! Very neat looking.
