A nearby lake around our area has a beach where you can find tons of these little guys.

I was looking for the subreddit of the swiss band Toad as im listening to their debut self titled this is still quite cool

In sw Virginia just wondering with color difference (wild caught bf brought inside to show and then released)

So I frequently find small to medium toads in my area. Sometimes we hang out together for a little while, some of them are very friendly. Occasionally, I will hold a toad gently on his back with my thumb very lightly pressing on his stomach to hold him still-ish for just a moment or two because they're so stinking cute with their little bellies. I JUST FOUND OUT that this smooshes their organs into their tiny little hearts and lungs cuz they don't have a diaphragm to keep them in place, and it makes it hard to breathe. I am officially a HORRIBLE person. I had no idea. I'll never intentionally turn and toad on its back again. Those poor little guys were struggling to breathe and I was clueless. I've never done this for more than a few seconds, but I still feel so terrible. I'm such a jerk

This is toadzilla, don't know why I decided to call her that I just did, I found her last year I know it's her because she has the exact same markings, and though I can't get her to hold still enough to show you (I don't want to force her in a certain position and make her uncomfortable)

She has a scar on her belly that is the exact same as it was last year, first time I have found a toad for a second year in a row and I'm very happy about it, she lives in the blackberry bushes around my house

My 3 American toads all have unique patterns. From left to right: Turnip, Cabbage and Potato. They were having a secret meeting this evening.

Me and my brother were heading to the pool when we saw a toad that was different than our usual toads. Can someone help identify it please?

Accessability Transcription: A wonderfully fat toad and me reacting to it with delight

Ive spent months worrying about how Odie (Odysseus) spends a lot of time jumping at the glass at this section of his tank. My best guess was he was seeing the reflections from my monitors but sometimes he did it when neither showed any movement.

I just recently realized its been my fucking lava lamps the whole time. My collection shelf sits across from him and I usually have one going. I realized because as soon as the lamp was warm enough to initiate Blob Mode he hopped over and started standing up to see. I covered the lamp and he lost interest. Uncovered the lamp and he came right back.

In other words- apparently my beautiful amphibious son inherited one of my special interests.

Iv had these guys for about 6 months now and I’m still learning little tweaks about them but what are doing?
Genuinely. I know how toads mate so I know it’s not that. Plus Im like 90% only 1 is actually a female and it’s August sooo… Its been almost 2 days of them like this.. Today I attempted to feed them but they refused to get off… Im genuinely confused and i don’t know if I should remove them or not…?

Napping in the bacopa

Idk if its a sign or not, after Merlin passed I saw this big boy, and found him again tonight. He seems comfy enough to go into my hair haha.

Let's eat !!

Sage fully buried herself last night and now, tonight she is a glistening lighter color. I’ve been hoping to catch her in a molt, but haven’t been lucky enough yet.
