Posted by admin on October 29th, 2009 and filed under toad house | 2 Comments »

We have searched the entire house for him. Any ideas of what we might be able to do to make him appear? I know this seems far-fetched but my 4 year old daughter is deparate to find "Spotty".

Dark Damp place try your bathroom in some wet towels check the cage really good to make sure he wasnt hiding
GOOD LUCK

Can I have any other pets in the tank with firebelly toads?

Posted by admin on October 29th, 2009 and filed under toads | 3 Comments »

I have 2 firebelly toads in a 12 gallon tank. Can I get any other sort of frog or newt or will they be too territorial and kill them?

Being territorial and killing other tank mates is not what you have to worry about if you ever decided to mix species with your fire bellies.

All amphibians have different levels of toxicity in their skins which may harm other inhabitants if you were to house them together. Aside from that, adding other species is a very high risk of spreading disease, parasites, and bacteria which can in turn kill, sicken, or injure other tank mates.

I wouldn’t risk mixing any species with them if I were you. It’s not good to take chances with the lives of anything, even if they are only toads.

What is the skeptic explanation of occurrences of raining frogs or other animals?

Posted by admin on October 29th, 2009 and filed under frogs | 3 Comments »

I have heard that they think that a tornado sucks them out of a lake and shoots them fantastic distances, but this would still leave questions, such as why would it only be frogs, or fish (another animal that has rained from the sky) and not both together, or any other mixture of aquatic animals. It always seems to be one particular animal. Additionally, wouldn’t there be aquatic plant life that would rain down as well and verify that it came from a lake or pond or something? I have also heard of at least one occurrence of it raining men.

I have heard of it raining fish. Something like…there was no rain for a really long time and this lake evaporated into the clouds and the little fish eggs grew and when it finally did rain they hatched and it rained fish…I dunno if it’s true, but it’s cool to believe it could happen.
Now, I don’t see clouds sustaining the weight of a man or men for that matter, so that seems kind of ridiculous.

Help! I need a suggestion for a Social Studies lesson plan for my unit on the Frog &Toad books!?

Posted by admin on October 29th, 2009 and filed under toad frog | 3 Comments »

I need help coming up with an idea for my social studies lesson plan for my Frog and Toad unit (they are children’s books if you are familiar with them…). 2nd grade level. Any suggestions would be HIGHLY appreciated!

It’s been a while since I taught elementary school, but if memory serves, Frog and Toad were always helping one another. Could your Social Studies unit be about helpers in the community?

Is it illegal to have frogs that come from the wild in Georgia?

Posted by admin on October 25th, 2009 and filed under frogs | 3 Comments »

I found some frogs hiding underneath some rain catches in my backyard and I made a pool and gave them food. But is it legal to have frogs that come from the wild? If your just going to say "yes" or "no" then please don’t answer. Please prove it to me.

Yes, frogs are legal in GA. As long as you are not containing them to your backyard, you should be fine anyway.

How safe is it to lick (bufo)toads? I want a Real, unbiased answer.?

Posted by admin on October 25th, 2009 and filed under toads | 6 Comments »

I always wondered if those bufo toads actually produce psychoactive responses to your body. Also, don’t people get sick just from the germs on those toads???

You have no way to know if the toxic secretion is going to put you into shock, you could be allergic. Dogs, cats and small animals die from biting the toad, peoples skin is irritated and eyes inflamed and irritated if you touch hand to eye after handling the toad. If you are asthmatic it could be very dangerous. Regular toad, frog, fish, germs or bacteria can be problems for Humans as well, Salmonella for one.
