A little natural history
A large tropical-forest toad with smoother skin than many familiar toads. It is a broad-diet predator and has potent defensive secretions, making it an observation animal rather than a handling pet.
The wonderfully odd bit
True toads in Bufonidae lack the small gripping teeth found in many other frogs.
Would this frog suit a home?
Choose a traceable captive-bred animal. Plan a species-specific enclosure, suitable live food and amphibian veterinary access before purchase; this profile is an introduction, not a complete care sheet.
Only consider legally obtained, captive-bred animals. Check permits and restrictions where you live, test the habitat first, and arrange an amphibian-experienced vet. This brief profile is not a complete husbandry sheet.
