Hi! I'm new to the forum and pretty new to amphibians. Budge the toad is my second amphibian pet. My first is my ADF, Bee. I got him so I could practice with aquatic amphibians for a while until I am able to get an ACF. Bee lives in a 5 gallon filtered (cycled), heated aquarium with my female betta, Lotus, and two ghost shrimp named Ghost and Ghastly. Original names, I know. lol


I'm not new to reptiles. I owned a green anole named Jupiter for seven years, and as of now I have a red-eared slider turtle named Galileo that I am watching for my friend for a couple of years until they move back to the US.
I own a Russian tortoise named Rigby.

As for mammals, I have a mouse named Buck; three female rats named Wren, Ribbon, and Ratatouille; a male Guinea pig named S'mores; and a gerbil named Chloe.

Invertebrates include three cherry shrimp by themselves in my 3 gallon; two ghost shrimp previously mentioned; a desert millipede named Chili; a bunch of unnamed darkling beetles; and around thirty Madagascar hissing cockroaches, including Logan, Lady, Chrome, and Ruby.


I have four bettas - Missy, Princess, Lotus, and Red; a good few guppies; three adult platys; a bunch of platy fry; and two albino cory catfish.
Outside in a pond I have two goldfish - Comet the common goldfish, and a shubunkin nick-named 'Girly'. I have a couple of mosquitofish as well as some rosy-red minnows out there, too.

I also raise scuds.

Here are a couple of pictures.
