Hi everyone,

I was requested on another thread to start a thread here where I can tell people about something that happened and update as I go along.

Yesterday, I was photographing frogs and toads. While I was photographing, I saw the biggest western toad I have ever seen. There was a smaller one on top of the bigger one. I concluded that the one on the bottom, the bigger one, was female and the smaller one on the top was male.

I caught them, and the female “delivered.”

I decided to take the eggs home as well as some of the water from the canal, and attempt to raise these eggs into toads, then release them. I figured it would help out the toad population and my garden, because they are good pest controllers.

The exact species is western toad.

Anyway, I will post updates as I go along. I figured it would interest some people.

Regards,

Jared
