Ugliest things on the planet I think.

Our last family holiday in Qld. saw these things everywhere at night just after dark.

Most of them not so big.....just Ugly...:scared:

Hey Astroron & AstralTraveller,:)

:lol::lol: Very good thread. :thumbsup: I live on 2 acres approx 35k N of Brisbane. Hundreds of 'Bufo marinus' here at night. :mad2: Many frogs,:) as well.

The dogs fortunately ignore them. :) We have very few mosquitoes :)
The wild life seems to have learnt to live with the toads and ignore them as well.:thumbsup:

What my biggest gripe with the toads is that they dig harbourage holes amongst the sandstone walls. I've been filling the holes with coloured concrete.:P

Apart from that they are not as bad as what people believe them to be.:whistle:

Although I would rather have the native frogs keeping the mosquito population in check. :)
Not much can be done now. Even Cane Toad "Myxomatosis" is not a solution. It would simply mean a super Toad would develope from the survivors.

From Toad Hollow,
Cheers Marty
