Information about Toads:

Toads are the species of amphibians that fall into the order “Anura.” They generally have dry, leathery skin, colored usually dark grayish or brown with external skin glands on the back, neck, and shoulder. While toads and frogs are popularly considered as separate from frogs, there isn’t such a distinction made in taxonomy. Unlike frogs, toad have stubby bodies, short legs and are usually dry and they do not have teeth, as frogs do. They are native to everywhere on earth except for Greenland, Australia, New Zealand and Madagascar. Although due to poorly thought out introduction programs (most notably in Australia where Bufo marinus was deliberately introduced) toads have established themselves in ecosystems where they often have a very negative impact on native species. A group of toads is called a “Knot.” Despite popular belief, toads do not in any way transmit warts to people through handling. The toad’s bumpy skin is believed to help the animal blend into its environment visually by breaking up its outline. Toads are usually nocturnal and spend much of their lives underground in burrows, coming out only to eat and to breed in the spring.

American Toad – Signed Fine Art Print

$19.95$27.95

Information about the American Toad:

The American Toad is a common amphibian found throughout the eastern US and Canada. They are rarely found far from water and rely upon semi-permanent freshwater ponds or slow moving streams for their early development. American Toads are able to live in a variety of environments, from forests to fields and can be found living in urban areas near gardens, where they surface at night to hunt insects near artificial light sources such as porch lights. They have poisonous glands on their 'warts' but the toxin is only dangerous to humans if ingested or if it comes in contact with eyes.

Canadian Toad – Signed Fine Art Print

$19.95$27.95

Information about the Canadian Toad:

The Canadian Toad is a species of amphibian found in the prairie regions of central Canada south to parts of United States upper Mid-West. Its binominal name comes from the Latin words "bufonis" which means toad, and "hemiophrys" meaning the eyebrow. This name refers to the pronounced brow of the toad. The Canadian Toad possesses the typical toad traits; they do not have a tail or teeth, they have horizontal pupils and their dry skin is thick and bumpy. They are medium-sized toads, growing to about 2.25-3 inches long. The females grow a little larger than the males. To survive the long and cold winters, the toads enter a torpor state, where they burrow down very deep into the ground, creating small holes where they will be sheltered from the freezing temperatures, emerging in the spring to feed and seek mates.

Cane Toad – Signed Fine Art Print

$19.95$27.95

Information about the Cane Toad:

The Cane Toad - also called the Marine Toad or Giant Neo-tropical Toad - is a very large amphibian native to the rainforests of Central and South America. It has also been introduced (sometime deliberately, sometimes accidentally) to islands of the South Pacific, Hawaii and notably Australia, where the massive negative impact to the natural ecosystems has been particularly devastating. Unlike the animals who usually feed on the toad in it's native range, most predators do not have any defense against the toad's highly toxic poison glands, usually resulting in death. The toads amazing reproductive cycle also allows it to breed exponentially. At this time there is no way to control them and they continue to exterminate native wildlife and spread their range.

Colorado River Toad – Signed Fine Art Print

$19.95$27.95

Information about the Colorado river toad:

The Colorado River Toad - also called the Sonoran Desert Toad - is a large amphibian native to the deserts the southwestern United States and northern parts of Mexico. They spend a large part of their lives in underground burrows, venturing out only to feed and mate and only when the conditions are right. As an amphibian, they absorb water through their skin, therefore the arid, dry air of the desert during daylight hours is an unsuitable environment for them. They are one of North America's largest amphibians, reaching lengths of up to 7 inches. They are noted for their skin and venom, which has 5-MeO-DMT and bufotenin in them, making them what's called a 'psychoactive toad' - in which the chemicals in the toad can be used to obtain an altered state of consciousness when ingested by humans.

Fire-Bellied Toad – Signed Fine Art Print

$19.95$27.95

Information about the Fire-Bellied Toad:

The Fire-Bellied Toad, also known as the Oriental Fire-Bellied Toad, is native to the southern part of Russia into northeastern China and parts of Korea and Japan. This toad inhabits forests, open meadows, river valleys and swamps. They are generally found in slow moving waters such as lakes, ponds and steams and even occasionally in ditches and puddles. The toads feed on a variety of insects including flies, beetles and ants, but will also take worms and snails. Oriental fire-bellied toads are medium-sized, growing to a length of about 2 inches (5.5 centimeters). The backside of these amphibians are covered in bumps that look a little like warts. Their coloration range from bright green to brownish gray, and their bellies are smooth with a mottled pattern of red and black. The coloration is used as a defensive measure, as some predators will see the bright red color and be fooled into thinking the toad is poisonous. Due to their color as ease of care these amphibians are very popular in the pet trade.
