New Colorado River Toads....(20!!!)

[Paul Rust]

You guys could have had a constructive conversation about this but instead it has degenerated into a back-and-forth argument and name calling. Let's be clear, as things stand, the worst that could happen to Jeff would be confiscation of the animals and an outside chance of a fine - there's a Lacey Act violation in there. Since the original advert was for CB, I don't think Jeff has much to worry about. Now, selling them on is a bigger issue - that could certainly lead to trouble.

Rather than berating each other, you should be reporting the original seller - give their full name and address to USFW and Arizona's equivalent.

Regarding the toads themselves, at this point they should not be released because of potential spread of diseases they may have picked up since entering captivity. If they are confiscated, they will either be destroyed or given to another local keeper. No one wins.

Now please be civil.

Said like a true statesman John.
Let me get in the mud a little more, if I may.
I could care less if people agree or not, in fact a good healthy argument is a great way to learn things and share opinions. However, when you start shooting at each other and making threats, thats where the constructive conversation stops. None of this was necessary and if John hadn't seen this already there would be trouble here. Keep it civil so I don't have to get involved, this is a friendly forum and we all need to work to keep it that way!
