Hey guys,

Just caught this little fella in my back yard. Found him while watering the plants! Very curious as to what he is. Can I keep him if I fashion up a terrarium tonight?

I'm prepared to let him go should he not be suitable for captivity. He's been sitting in an empty 2.5g tank for about 15 minutes now.

Here he is:

What do you guys think he is? Opinions?

Bufo americanus, American toad :D

He will get too big for a 2.5 but they can make interesting pets.

Cool! Should I keep him? Will he be okay in the 2.5g for the time being? :)

Oh man, he is ADORABLE! So tiny right now. Kind of ugly once he grows up, though. :p

Nice lookin' toadie.

Me, I'd put him back in the garden...quite a beneficial critter!
You might be surprised to see him a few times over the summer.
They don't seem to range too far if they have sufficient food...aka bugs :)

Yeeeah...the fiance is pressuring me to release him. I suppose we'll release him. He's just so cool!

Cute little guy! I'd bet if you let him go in your yard, you'll be seeing him again. We used to have a frog that would show up on our grill every day, and every day we would chase him off. He was really cute.
On a side note, give me your gudgeons.
:D
