Wouldn't space and diet also play a role on their size? So a wild caught floridian one could get that big if it was fed a heavy diet as well as fully loaded with extra calcium and vitamins. lol. SO in a way overfeed a bit. :x Not too much though. And I'd feed mice occassionally. But rather not.


I rather get alot of other fatty/protein loaded foods. (fatty foods would be waxworms and be fed every other feeding along with their regular feeding). I want a juvenile because I want it to be younger so that I can have it grow bigger on its own. Since toads sorta grow fast. You could be getting a 10 year old cane toad thats 10ft long(suriname--- doubt that big though); and the seller could say its just 2 years old. While if you get a young cane toad you know its under a year old and you can get it that big.


But you can't count on a suriname young cane toad because there would be no way to know if it came from suriname at the young age. Am I right? How big can regular cane toads get? I mean the one I had was 2x bigger than the largest american toad I had before and have now. 4-5inch or so.
it all depends there are some big cane toads it depends were they originate from as to how big they get, but ive read that the ones from florida are quite small i think, also surinams are the largest canes i dont think anything else comes close apart from bufo blombergi, wich are very rare but huge!! and rococos

here is an interesting link for you to read, there is no way you could confuse a surinam there paratoid glands are like golf balls,
