I found a toad in my house during winter in illinois, if I put it outside will it die or should I try to keep?

it till Spring time. Really not sure how the heck the little guy got into the house in the first place? If I keep it what will I need? Thank you

I deal with reptiles I have a five foot python and study all animals. so! you have a toad well if you want to keep it you must like animals,reptiles. well first of all,if you put the toad out side no it will not die.WHY? im glad you asked.when winter time comes. A lot of the reptiles have a natural antifreeze in their system that puts them in a hibernation mode. For example, garter snakes, bees, spiders, and frogs.For example: If you put a garter snake in your freezer, it will freeze, but come back to life when you put it outside in the warmth. If you want to keep it, get a reptile bedding. You can buy this at the pet store. It would be something like Aspen or Cedar mulch. It comes in a bag and isn’t very expensive. You can use a fish tank. Just be careful, because toads can get big. Put a little water in there in an old tupperware bowl and feed it crickets or freeze dried moths. You can also buy at the pet store. Keep the tank between 75 and 80. Use an inexpensive stick on thermometer. If you use a heat lamp, keep it on one side of the tank and the water on the other side. Any other help you need, you can ask a pet store. If it seems too hard, throw it outside. It will live unless eaten by something bigger.

differences between frogs and toads breeding?

Posted by admin on January 15th, 2010 and filed under frogs and toads | 2 Comments »

i know that frogs do it by the female laying the eggs and then the male fertilising them. ive got 2 fire bellied toads, and i see them humping all the time. now my female toad is pregnant, and i was wondering whats gonna happen when she gives birth. will it just be the same as the frogs way? do i have to do anything to allow them to lay there eggs?

Firebelly toads breed the same way as any other frogs or toads do. They are humping because they are just going through the motions. The female becomes fat with eggs, which the male will then have to fertilize externally. Make sure you keep the water clean of waste after they spawn.

What is the next life of species to go extinct after the Golden Toad?

Posted by admin on January 15th, 2010 and filed under toad | 2 Comments »

The golden toad went extinct about 7 years ago in Costa Rica. Do have an answer to this question?

many species of amphibian are going extinct daily due to a combination of reduction of habitat, pollution, and chytridiomycosis, which is a fungal disease that is killing many frog species. Some are now extinct in the wild and alive only in captivity, such as the Panamanian golden frog.

There is more information on the national geographic website.

Can’t get to the World 3 castle on Mario Bros Wii?

Posted by admin on January 12th, 2010 and filed under toad house | 1 Comment »

We have beat 3-4 and 3-5, hit the red switch and recieved the star from the yellow toad house, but the path the the world 3 castle will not open up. We have now beat 3-4 and 3-5 at least 5 times a piece with no luck. How do we unlock the castle?

The answer lies in 3-4. You must go through the pipe which brings you out to another competion flag to grab onto. I recommend going through the pipe AFTER you have hit the switch for the red blocks. In other words, the second time through this level.

Why is my African Dwarf Frog laying upsidedown on the bottom of my tank?

i might die soon, or its hibernating, or maybe it just sleepin

Where to place a Lucky Money Toad?

Posted by admin on January 3rd, 2010 and filed under toad house | 2 Comments »

I have a Lucky Money Toad that I want to place properly, unfortunately there’s a whole lot of debate on where it should go. Some people say it needs to face the door of your house, others say that if it is too close to the door it symbolizes money LEAVING the house, which is not the desired effect.

Which is right?

I have an apartment with a small door way, and a sliding glass door almost diagonally across the apartment from it ( not including walls ).

Thanks!!

Place the frog within view of your front or main door to invite money and luck in. Turn it backwards during the night, to prevent this newly earned money and luck from going away.

How are bull frogs able to eat scorpions and spiders and not get stung or bitten in the mouth or stomach?

Posted by admin on January 3rd, 2010 and filed under frogs | 1 Comment »

I just saw a video of bull frogs swallowing whole BIG spiders and scorpions. I thought the spider’s fangs would ruin the frog’s whole day or kill him. I also thought that stinger on the scorpion would totally stop the bull frog from living? How can they do this?

When a frog catches its prey, it quickly bites, stunning its prey with the bite. The frog then closes its mouth and may crush a softbodied prey in the process. The frog will also make sure that its prey is not moving, by holding it between the roof of the mouth and the tongue, before swallowing. While the prey is inside the mouth, the frog secrets a large amount of digestive enzymes onto its prey to help it go down its gut smoothly. After having been stunned, crushed and coated with digestive enzyme, a spider or scorpion would have no chance to sting or bite.

What kind of frog is it in my yard, and how do I get it to be quiet?

Posted by admin on January 3rd, 2010 and filed under frog | 6 Comments »

I live in Petaluma, California, and about a week ago, a frog seems to have moved into my rain-filed kiddie pool. Does anyone know what kind of frog this might be, how long he’ll be here, and if he ever plans on being quiet? Please do not write me anything about killing frogs, as I volunteer for the Humane Society and am also a vegetarian. :) Will he eventually leave when he can’t find a mate?

empty the pool. or step on it.
