The toad

These are the things I have learned from nursing back to health an seriously injured toad.

• Neosporin works to help heal, ok at least it doesn't hinder.
• They smell funny.
• They shed their skin. Ours insisted on leaving it in his water dish.
• Toads really do have an incredible regeneration skill. We literally though he was missing one eye when we got him, his head was that messed up. By the time we turned him lose he had not only gained that eye back, he could even see out of it.
• Garter snakes and toads are not very chummy. They each staked a side of the tank and there was no invading the other side.
• They can let go of an incredible load of pee when a terrified young girl is carrying it outside.

Those are my toad observations. It was a fun little experience. I am glad he healed and we could turn him lose.
