Holy Cross Toad

It would be nice if there were some CB ones on the market though. Its sad what the cane toads have done. They are so destructive to the ecosystem.

Thank the dumb *** that let them go in the first place. They were released to eradicate insects that where ravishing the sugar cane crop, hence the name cane toad. Unfortunately, they don't climb and the insects don't hang out on the ground.

And they are nearly impossible to eradicate themselves. What do they do to attempt to do to get rid of them?

They have large toad killing gatherings! And while I am a lover of all things creepy-crawly, I would gladly partake in a little controlled genocide to protect native critters down under. Sadly, I doubt these hunts have much impact on the invasive toads though.

Interesting idea. Why kill them they could ship them into the pet trade?

[Kurt]

Why bother? There are plenty marine toads already in the pet trade, many coming from introduced populations in Florida.

ooh ok. So back to the topic. Can people living in australia keep Holy cross toads and other native species as pets?
