I was begining to think my amphibians would never stir but today I found these two. The Bufo bufo is one of a batch of Tadpoles I got last year from Alistair, they grew very well!!

great shot!! didnt realise their tounges were so long. do you notice this species is very inacurate when grabbing prey? it usually takes mine two or three attempts to catch something!

When should I expect to find my Bufo bufo emerging from hibernation. there are quite a few common frogs in teh garden but no sign of my own toads yet. These guys are too young to breed this year but at what age do they mature?

I have quite a few british bufo bufo at the moment so Im not really interested in the italian form. I thought you may have gotten this species in stock as I was suprised they are still around at this time of year.

I am currently reading a book called "Chimps Champs and Elephants" by Jack Baker. It is about the eccentric millionaire Herbert Whitley who founded Paington zoo.
In a detailed description of his 16 large greenhouses which contained everything from crocodiles to giant salamanders it mentions a group of tortoise shell Bufo bufo that he was breeding a strain of.
Is this strain still in existance? or are there any other mutations of Bufo bufo?
He had a real interested in breeding mutations and breed pure black and pure yellow fire salamanders.
I am not finished the book yet but I will let you know of any other interesting topics raised.
