There is so many canetoads around, I knew they would breed up but they were a bit shy, so I put the ultraviolet bug catcher/destroyer out the front and there are dozens of cane toads around…
Dozens!
They are mostly juveniles, about 2 1/2 to 3 inches long…no street smarts…ahh no human smarts…so I have been catching about 15 per night…into the 5 litre icecream container they go…there are 3 main areas where they congregate, so if I work one area per night, over a week I should have a goodly supply of blood and bone…but I need more ice-cream containers…

Got 8 last night, without really trying…I’ve worked out how to pick them up so they don’t wriggle or get away…mostly juvies…not many big fellas around…

it only takes one female to make thousands of juvenile toads.. so if you can catch mum then that would be smart.

Hard to tell the Mums from the Dads, but I’m guessing the little sod who kept trilling and blowing itself up, was a potential Dad…LOL!

Ahem! I recycle mine…but I agree that Townsville has a huge toad problem…they sit under those ultraviolet lights and just wait for the insects to fall…you could catch the toads in your yard, freeze ‘em and bury them…

The Toads of Townsville are Nocturnal whereas the Toads of Moresby would appear all day long…
