I guess my 2 year old son let one of my fire bellied toads out of the tank last night while we were sleeping. He has a tendency to wake up at all hours of the night and get into mischief. Anyways I am on the hunt to find it. Hopefully he put it in the anole tank like last time. I did see one of my anoles bobbing its head in a threatening display while no other lizards were in the tank and I thought that was kind of strange. Hopefully after I rip all the plants out it will be in there.

Time to invest in some LOCKS. lol

Good luck finding him. One of mine got out, and the cat "found him" fortunately just watching, he was unharmed.

Update: Well I found my poor Fire Bellied toad that my son lost the other night. Lets just say he went to froggy heaven. Poor toad!! I guess he died the worst way possible for I just found him in my shoe. At least he probably died fast since they were an old pair of gym shoes and I must admit they don't smell like roses. LOL!!

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Poor baby

Sorry you found him in the wrong condition

Definitely time to invest in a manner to prevent this from happening again. A cinder block might be enough to discourage a two year old...

We wouldn't want him handling a toxic frog and then putting his fingers in his mouth because he's into things while you aren't able to watch him.

not sure how nimble his little fingers are, but I believe Merlin had a photo of his Bally Python tank and a fabulous way of shutting it with industrial strength velcro.

I think I am going to check out Merlin's Velcro idea. A cinder block sounds good but that wouldn't keep my son out. I did use bungee cords but found it to be kind of dangerous.
My son just loves reptiles and amphibians. I guess curiosity+ignorance=future knowledge.
I mean who hasn't forgot to put air holes in a jar when they were little and you know....

Sorry to hear about your toad :-(
I used to catch anoles all the time when I was little and Id put them in empty tubs of butter with no air holes and a little bit of grass...I know Im guilty of it :-$
