Where to buy toads?

[Deku]

Iam looking to buy toads of america because they only grow up to like 3-4 inches which is a perfect toad size in my personal opinion. I SERIOUSLY cant find anything. Ived been herping almost every 2 weeks this summer which I think its STILL summer. But havent found ANYTHING at all. Except a garter snake(baby newly hatchd) who we let go. So since I cant find anything. Id like to buy it. I know some people on here breed them. But id like to find a local person? Anywho... I just havent made my mind before because of a lot of contradicting topics. Before A LOT of people told me toads in general are inactive. Then Iam being told they are somewhat active. Then Iam being told they are skittish then Iam told they are not skittish. I guess I was and still am confused. But I do know I want a toad. Even if they will just sit there. I think after a while itll get used to me and atleast sit out in the open. when I was inexperienced at determining toads I found american toads, woodhouse toads and another type of nj toad which I forgot. All In all Iam just looking for a sexed pair of toads. Or atleast captive bred toads(atleast one male).

There was this guy on here that had an albino toad. I was so impressed by that. Personally I wish I could own one but its no biggie(especially since they probably cost a fortune). Id like them as juveniles you know? Like 2inches long or so. I already know their care but I was generally confused about their temperament and activity.

I also like that toad in BNTZ post. You know the asian toads?

The common American Toad isn't very active. They burrow and them come out to eat at night. I rarely see people selling these common toads. If I ever come across one I'll let you know.

I see American toads for sale in the Kingsnake.com classifieds a lot. Also other species of North American bufo.

The ones I had only hid for a few hours a day. Then they came out and soaked in the dish for a while. Then walked around for a bit. Ate. Then Sat down in a corner or in the center.

Another way to find toads is in early spring while it is still wet from rain go out and look underneath logs, boards, rocks, anything that makes good cover, and find toads sitting there. I found my toads just that way, early in the morning (or you could go out with a flashlight at night). Toads like wet lawns at night.

Around here at most parks and gardens you'll find dozens of toadlets jumping around. There's a bunch in my parents' backyard right now.


I have a American and Southern toad and just loves my American, he's always out and about while the Southern always hides or hops to the back whenever I'm nearby.

Go for a ride down a quiet country road some night after a rain storm. You should find them then, along with a bunch of other frogs. They will appear before your headlights.
