    I have to admit, I am rather jealous! I have tried to get out feelers on the possibility of getting a Colorado River toad into Canada and so far, I have been told rather blunty to give up. However, they said that about my Pyxies, too, and now I have three of them! I really love the last picture, of the two toads...the one on the left is such a cutie...I would pick that one for sure!! Sigh....

    If I were you I'd get a Rococco (spelling?) or a Marine toad instead - easier to come by, no drug implications, and Marines can become very tame (eating dog food out of a bowl for you).

    I wonder what the availability is on them in Canada? From what I have read of Marine toads, they are poisonous and are a potential threat to native species, which means Canada may not let them across the border. Maybe I should start looking for a native toad species. I have yet to come across anything remotely amphibian in my own city yet I know they are out there.....a nice Canadian toad would suit me just fine! Thanks for the suggestions John.

    I doubt Cane/Marine Toads (Bufo marinus) are illegal in Canada. They can't survive cold winters, so there's no danger there. Having said that, Canada's legislature aren't known for their good sense when it comes to amphibians - several provinces have banned some of the Phyllobates dart frogs because the are under the uninformed impression that these poisonous amphibians are poisonous in captivity - they are not - if they were, I'd be dead many times over.

    In BC you could go herping and find some western toads (Bufo boreas boreas). This toad is a close relative of the California toad (,Bufo boreas halophilus) the kind I have. Mine are great pets and don't get humongous, so are easy to house and feed.
