I had one once, but I did not know how to care for him, and he died after a week
I'd love to get another frog or toad, I know a lot more now :study:

We had two toads come out of nowhere into our backyard a few years ago...HUGE toads. They stayed for a summer in our backyard, then brumated over winter, and I found one of them buried in the strawberry bushels, and not the other. Then never saw the second one again. I always thought it was odd that they appeared there. I fed them mealworms at the time, and put dishes out at night, they were always gone in the mornings. But I didn't know if that was what they typically ate.
Sadly, Reptilemaster, I remember when I was much younger, we would visit San Francisco often (in the late 60s) and the hippies always had turtles that were painted with probably toxic paints on their shells, and sold them on the sidewalks. Oh the irony. I remember I got two of them, and had a plastic island for them with a fake palm tree, and I killed them both by giving them a bath in detergent. Thank goodness for naiveté...the hippies, my parents, myself as a child. Or we all would have been miserable for knowing what I know now about animal husbandry.
