Hello - We were wondering if anyone can help. We purchased 2 toads (which we were told are from Malaysia) they are about 1.5 inches full grown adults. We have recently lost one and the other is showing signs of illness as well. We’re trying to find out how to take care of the little guy but have no idea what kind of toad he is. We have no help from the reptile store; the kid who sold them is no longer there and no one knows what they are.
We will attach a pic as soon as we figure out how to do so… we’re hoping someone will know what kind of toad he is so we can get him the proper help. He has glossy eyes and is not moving as much as he used to. ~ Thank you

Welcome, but I'm sorry to hear about your toad. Knowing what kind it is would be helpful.

To post a photo, you need to reduce the size of the photo to what this forum accepts (something like 600x400px works well), then click on "go advanced" and then "manage attachments". I would suggest that you start a new thread in the frog section of the forum for this. That would be a better place for photos of a toad.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
