The New "Family" Member

Please Meet Hoppy. We found him outside near our son's pool, and decided to let him keep him, and we will figure out the details later. The Entomologist has been wanting a pet all his own, and this fit the bill nicely. We are going to head out here in awhile to the hardware store to purchase a few crickets for him. I am going to do my part, and research what is needed to see that he can survive in captivity. I know that it would be best to return him to the backyard, but I am not going to break my son's heart for that. We will manage, and Hoppy will have a great owner that loves him dearly.

UPDATE: Hoppy is an American Toad. Does not cause warts, and will eat a variety of different 'critters'.

Love this shot! There is just something about boys and frogs/toads. Have fun with Hoppy.

Very cute photo. You'll have to let me know how to take care of a toad because I know Maggie would like one and we have a lot of them in our backyard. Do they carry salmonella like reptiles do?
