    They may encourage the frogs to spawn in outdoor ponds and use tadpoles & froglets as feeders for frog eating reptiles & amphibians. We have a few small ponds that are swarmed by Gulf Coast Toads during the rains and we do use them as feeders at times (they are treated for chytrid fungus as a precaution!). Or it could be simply a matter of them taking advantage of the fact that their ponds are overwhelmed by these particular species.

    There is a Jacks Pets near me that has a Gulf Coast Toad for sail. Its a very dark colored toad. The one they have is in its water dish every time I go in. They must like to bathe.
