Re: Toads!!! This Forum section looked lonely
I love toads. I used to keep 10+ at a time when I was younger.
There is a snail shell in the lower right of your first pic.

I used to catch toad and frogs all the time when I was a kid...more than anything else. I thought about trying to keep them but I did not want to take any out the wild and did not want to listen to any croaking;D
Ya...I saw that snail shell there...if you look close you can see the snail coming out of the snail shell

Re: Toads!!! This Forum section looked lonely
Oh yeah, I see.
I took many things out of the wild in my younger years. lol Toads mostly.. and leopard frogs, a couple bullfrogs, turtles, fish, crayfish.. etc etc. Basically whatever moved that wasn't a bug (and a few of those too)

I was exactly the same way....toads, leopard frogs, and anoles were my favorites. I would even go for grasshoppers, crickets and a few other bugs ha...but not spiders or roaches... I also tried to avoid most snakes too....did not want to risk picking up something poisonous...ha ha....but there were a few close call when my curiosity got the best of me

We always got crayfish and salamanders!! The occasional grasshoppers and crickets, which we fed to my mom's tartantulas (yeah I know that's not good, but it was a long time ago). Oh and fireflies!!! My kids love those.

You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off

Re: Toads!!! This Forum section looked lonely :)
Oh yeah, lots of fireflies (I always call them lightning bugs though). I also went for the grasshoppers, and other hopper bugs.. butterflies, dragon and damselflies (my favorites!) garden snails, slugs, potato bugs (roly polys), millipedes, and whatever other cool things took up residence under logs and rocks.
I found a black salamander with blue spots once. It was really cool.

Re: Toads!!! This Forum section looked lonely :)
I used to be fortunate enough to get to collect caterpillars in a state reserve. I worked for a doctoral student in college. I got to see black rat snakes, all sorts of frogs, and I once found a purple grasshopper. (it was so cool) The best part was that the land was protected so that few people ever got to go there. It was full of wildlife. Absolutely wonderful. I even got to hear the whooping cranes (endangered species) during mating season, and yes there is a very good reason they are called whooping.
