    Well what you could do, is get them, but buy a large amount and rehome all the males on here. You could PM members such as Kueluck and AlanLynch to see if they have any toads available

    It's 10 dollars a toad and she doesn't accept anything other than paypal, check or money order all which i hate. I am thinking of going for carolina bio. They can guarantee me some females and different colors. I want atleast one red phase. I just love those. Do you think i could house 6 toads in a 36x18x18? Also ive seen them take pinkies. Could that be nutritious? Would they be able to sell me some?

    Yes, they should be fine in a 50 gallon, which is the same dimensions you mentioned. Pinky mice should be occasional, as they are hard to digest, frogs and toads can't really ingest and digest bones well

    So how do they get their vitamins and calcium?

    I can tell you that's myth, I owned a adult male Fowler's toad for 5 years before he moved on. In all that time, he only called 3 times, and only when there were spring thunderstorms

    i once had a male american that i took care of he also lasted like 2 years but to be fair i never did take him to the vet to get de-paratised (yes i just made that word up lol)... He called constantly... And the other male i had lasted 3 years and did the same with the calling and mate with a gravid female.
