My favorite trick with these toads is to find out if they are male or female. Find out more here: http://wildlifeofct.com/fowlers%20toad.html Posted 4 years ago

    I think the males have a darker throat. Posted 4 years ago

    “Male toads produce a special release chirp used to inform another male toad who has grabbed them that they have mistakenly latched onto another male.”
    If you hold the toad just right, he will chirp if it’s a male :) Posted 4 years ago
