Holy Cross Toad

[Tom Highum]

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

[SludgeMunkey]

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.

[Tom Highum]

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?

[John]

They can keep some species, provided they have applied for and been granted a permit. I have a feeling though that this toad is off limits even then.
