    Default American toad question

    is it true that in the wild they only live a year? a website i went to said so... as well that they last 30 years in captivity .. so would i have a chance at finding young ones?

    They most likely live a year or two, that's why toads and other amphibians produce large amounts of eggs, so some survive to grow up. It would be easy to find young toads, you just have to wait until the spring/summer rains, and go to recently filled ponds and try to collect spawn, tadpoles, or recent morphs

    It would increase your chances of finding young toadlets, but there's no way to tell their gender when they're that small. Here were my Fowler's toadlets, so you can get a gist of how small they were:
