If you would like another animal to put in with your turtle i would suggest another turtle, if your turtles a male get a female, males can be kind of agressive to each other and in the end you will have separate them. to females are also fine. sincerely C<br><b>References : </b><br> I wouldn’t advise it unless you want to make the frog or toad a turtle snack.I dont think tht it will make it sick but the turtle might try to eat it and choke. so basically that’s a no, DO NOT PUT AMPHIBIANS IN WITH TURTLES.

]]> Comment on What is the difference in frog and toad tadpoles? by Calimecita http://frogandtoadonbroadway.com/toad-frog/what-is-the-difference-in-frog-and-toad-tadpoles/#comment-11517 Calimecita Sun, 14 Nov 2010 19:32:59 +0000 http://frogandtoadonbroadway.com/toad-frog/what-is-the-difference-in-frog-and-toad-tadpoles#comment-11517 Cal King has already given you a good answer! The problem with distinguishing toads from frogs is that, while "toad" is the common name usually given to the members of the family Bufonidae, the term "frog" is applied to many different families that can be quite different in appearance. The true Bufonidae toads usually lay their eggs in shallow waters; thus, the relatively flattened body and low tail fins of the tadpoles reflect their habitat (in contrast, other tadpoles have stronger, deeper tails and more laterally placed eyes). But there are many variations in size, proportions and colors among tadpoles - so if you really want to know the species of a tadpole, you need to look at its mouthparts (not easy unless you have a good magnifying glass or stereoscopic microscope). Below you'll find an online identification key for anuran (toad and frog) tadpoles of the US and Canada. I hope it's useful! ******* EDIT: advanced tadpoles will look more similar to their adult counterparts as their metamorphosis advances - so if you find individuals with fully developed arms and legs, you'll probably be able to tell if they resemble a particular species.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/tadpole/ Cal King has already given you a good answer!

Some are fully aquatic, some are semi aquatic, some are terrestrial. Basically, we need to know what species to tell you how to care for it. let it go. You don't even know what species it is, you're not going to be able to care for it properly, its only going to die on you! If you want a pet frog choose a species, learn to care for it and buy one in the pet shop!<br><b>References : </b><br> What sort of frog/toad?
