FIRE BELLIED TOADS MALE OR FEMALE?

Do fire bellied toads eat fire bellied toads?

• Answer:

  It is risky to house any type of these toads with other species, as they secrete toxins from glands behind the head. In some individuals there is a spot of color, such as green or brown, where these glands are located. For this reason, it is extremely important that any water in the habitat is changed every few days or is filtered as the toxin will build up in the water and can harm the toads. Many species do not seem to be bothered by the toxins if the primary water source is filtered properly. In captivity they will eat anything they can stuff into their toothless jaws, from crickets to moths to minnows to blood worms to pinkie mice. In vivariums they require at least 4 gallons of room per toad, though 3 can fit in a 10 gallon vivarium with proper treatment. They can sometimes act very aggressively against each other, particularly males. No it is not. I saw fire belly toadswith anoles and tree frogs at the pet store so don't worry about it.
