  • your not supposed to pick them up stupid

  • your not supposed to pick them up stupid

  • @ifartedtwice1384 god dammit i posted the same thing twice

  • my toad (Eric) will start croaking and get on top of my other toad (Derek) and they will get loud!

  • He's only demonstrating the call male toads and frogs make when they're mounted by other males of the same species. The male typically squeezes the female hard enough to squeeze out her eggs in the same manner he's squeezing the toad.

  • you should NEVER EVER handle your toad in that postian! you could kill him!

  • My firebelly toad,Ribberto sounds just like him!

  • when i was little i handled them all the time! all you have to do is wash your hands after and before...mine lived for a hella lomng time too

  • Don't handle them with bare hands. Use latex gloves! Dumbass its in distress!

  • you cant hold then its bad for them

  • they r posin you know

  • thoes are posin

    

  • you can handle fire bellied toads man they have poison and the skin oils hurt them

  • poor creature :(

  • Their skin does have a toxin but they only release it when threatened.

  • @Qshu51 can it injure a human?

  • i had mine for 6 years and my husband just accidently killd him! sad for me.. but anyway the oils on your hands can hurt thier skin; also handling them too much stresses them out.

  • Fire Bellied Toads absorb EVERYTHING through their skin - it's not advisable to hold them even if you wash your hands well; they'll soak up the soap residue and germs. If you truly love your toads, you WILL NOT HANDLE THEM anymore than necessary.

  • hes not squeezing him that hard for all you dislike assholes all you people probaly let your toad take a bath with you

  • Dont hold the poor thing like that!

  • Ewwww warts

  • mine sound like rubber boots rubbing together. i call their croaking "rubber booting"

  • You can hold these frogs. But your hands have to be clean. Wash them with soap before handling them, and rinse your hands VERY well so they're free of soap residue.

    I had 6 of them about 5 years ago. They lived for 14 years. I also bred them before and came out with 125 froglets.

  • wat r u doing put the frog down!

  • Please do not do that again

  • ok everyone i to disagree to hold it but the lady i got mine from she knows alot about fire belly toads and has alot of them but u can hold them first you wash yours hands really really good then hold one frog and then wash your hands again for the next frog and that but im not going to hold mine :)

  • your gonna kill the poor thing dont sqeez it

  • Do not do that again because that's a stupid adia

  • you can get a rash from touching their stomach

  • what the heck is your problem! why are you holding the toad like that! put it down!

  • Might as well put him in your pants too >:(

  • WTF I HAVE TWO OF THEM AND THEY WILL CROAK IF THEY NEED TO JUST STOP HOLDING HIM LIKE THAT!!!!!!!

  • Dude you should where gloves when you pick them up they have a toxin on their skin when you touch them they give you a rash!

  • what are you doing you little retard

  • Great idea! Squeeze him harder! Dumbass.

  • idiot, stop doing that, you are going to kill him

  • dude you waiting for the toad to jizz on you or something?

  • haha he peed on him to say get your hand the fuck off me you bitch!!

  • i love this noise i got 3 fire bellys and only one of them make this noise...so cute

  • I'd like to comment that I regularly handle the Bombinae I've had for over 3 years and they have never shown signs of sickness. If your frogs are ill bad lighting or unclean water are much harsher on these creatures. As for the calling, it's not a sign of pain and this frog isn't in pain. However, some posters are right, holding these frogs in simulated amplexus does overexcite them and it is likely why it urinated on you. I'd recommend against holding your frog like this for long.

  • The salt and oils on your hands can harm the toad! Don't hold it like that, you're just asking for it to become sick!

  • @MoonLightSongz get a fowlers toad ( I think bufo fowleri ) I catch them in Michigan they're fun and only poison if u eat them. They even seem to like being held!

  • your not supose to hold them!!!!!!!

  • Dude a pet is not a toy!

  • @Aspongeinmauve says you.

  • @PaperSoapy What, you actually think it's a toy to be played with?

  • Your so stupid

  • You are hurting him like that, you should just cup them between your hands if you have to hold them, or gently in one hand with the head between the flat of your thumb and pointer and the body hidden in your hand.

  • You are a big fucktard would you like to be held like that mother bitcher fucker ass

  • At the petstore it says that they have a type of stuff thats poisness to skin?? is that true...

  • They need to be held with gloves because they have mildly toxic skin and they dont like being held :)

  • Your soposed to get your hands wet with terrium water, then cup them in one of your hands and gentaly stroke their lower back if you want the hear their call!!!

  • My mom and I are thinking about this breed of frog to get . I love them !

  • stop touching it!!!!

  • my mom wont let me get them bcse thre lve food

  • thts funny and awsome how many firebelly toads do you have ????????

  • CHECK OUT MY VIDEOS MY FIRE BELLY TOADS TAKE DOWN CRICKETS ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS THEM!

  • Nice fbt and colorations, but put him the fuck back into his enclosure!!

  • Aw I used to have 1 of those but it kept on eating the rocks in his cage :*(

  • ur so dumb i wanna pee on you

  • fire bellied toads have toxic in it skin.

  • Wut does the call mean

  • I WOULD TOO.

  • I'M GLAD SHE PEED ON YOU.

  • Dude, I know that you want to hear that release call, but don't injure the damn toad.

  • I Want One! Im Gonna Name It Nemo ;)

  • Don't squeeze the poor little baby that hard your going to hurt it

  • hahahah awsome such a cool looking frog species

  • cute frog, too bad he is being mishandled :(

  • my freind said that thier stomach burns when u lay a finger on the stomach is it true???

  • i just got mine they have been doing a callXD i think their trying to mate cuz one called noded its head and then went into the corner of the tankXD

  • @L0adEd IKR? I have 2 and in the middle of the night they croak to eachother........XD no they do

  • you fucking idiot i can tell you dont know shit about frogs by the way you're holding him

  • You have problems bro, holding your frogs like that. Wow. You deserve to be kicked in the face.

  • Put that toad down butthead. I never hold mine

  • fuckin cunt! ur not meant 2 hold em that hard!

  • stop feeding him soooooo much he's fat!!!! stop squeezing him he's gonna explode!

  • how do you determine the gender of these?

  • man u aint supposd 2 hold em dah hard!

  • frog molesting 101

  • Dont you touch this frog!!!!!!!!

  • They make this sound when they're distressed, and firebellies are not particularly handle-friendly creatures. If you must hold them, gently cup them in your hand to prevent them from hopping loose and falling to the floor. (Standing up for a human doesn't seem that bad, for a little guy its a pretty big fall.)

  • YOUR HURTING THE POOR FROG!

  • i got 2 fire bellied toadz

  • that frog is cute

  • Fire Bellied Toads are poisonous and that red underneath them is a warning color.

  • I Might Get One Tomorrow And Im Gonna Name It Nemo If Its A Boy, And Zoey If Its A Girl.

  • cool

  • it is a call people use to think it was male telling a another male to get off. but now, people think females well make this noise if the mood is not right.

  • u killing it wtf

  • ITS A FEMAILE

  • hi!

    i like your video, but how do you feed them when you go in holidays?

  • im getting one of these beasts soon....how much did u pay for yours?....they want 15 bucks for one here at petsmart.

  • kool. i love fire bellied toads. i just got one today.

  • LOL

  • LAWLL

  • Actuaally, he's not really holding it wrong, and probably isn't applying that much pressure, frogs have calls that the do when stimulated with pressure behind the arms, and the frog (don't say oh you are an idiot its a toad, toads are frogs) looks healthy enough, so clearly this guy knows a bit about them

  • check out my fire bellied frogs xD

    i got them about 5 days ago

  • gisabel ur freakin retarded. both my toads do that all the time. don't watch unless ur actually interested

  • how did u make it call like that cause my does not do that : (

  • Without wetting you hands and keeping them a little cool you may be burning the toad a bit with the natural salts produced by sweat and salination its good to wear un-powered latex gloves when handling them.

    As far as there toxin go's there no real worry if you are not allergic, how ever co-habitaton cam be an issue with some other creatures, I my self have mine in with my Turtle and there doing ok but the water is filtered and there a lot of space.

    ~I was trained by a Herpetologist friend.~

  • As for poison dart frogs, the reason they are poisonous is their diet. A beetle that they eat gives them their toxin. Take one from the wild and don't feed it this bug and the toxin with wear out. Any babies born in captivity and not fed this insect should be nontoxic.

  • I my opinion FBTs only emit their toxin when truly afraid. They roll over on their back, showing their red 'fire' bellies and emit the toxin. I've read about them leaving some people with rashes and not being able to cohab. anything with these frogs which I find to be untrue. I have never broken out in a rash and have a self sustaining population of feeder guppies in my tank.

  • wait i thought fire bellied toads had posinus toxens but ive seen alot in flea markets

  • hey i have 2 firebelly toads.

    i can tell u a lot of things.

    #1. dont use gravel for a cage floor. they can accidentally eat it when eating

    #2. if u want to tell if its female, look at the size of the arms and middle fingers. larger arms but smaller fingers are male.

    #3. have 2 or more. they need companions.

    And #4. Have half of the cage water and the other half land.

  • thats exactly what u have to do and if u have any questions of breeding your toads ask me anything and i will know it trust me i ALWAYS breed my toads.

  • Hope your fingers were wet before you grabbed him. When the lighter shade of skin turns darker, almost as dark as the dark spots, it is a sign of stress. Don't stress your froggies! He started off happy and bright green but darkened as you handled him.

  • you can buy these toads as pets, somehow they have a way to remove the toxins out of the skin.

  • Where you learn that from? Any links to back that up? Don't believe you can complete remove the toxins unless you killed them as they continually produces them.

  • If it's true, it must be an indirect method like in the case of poison dart frogs which has strong toxin in the nature but in captivity they start to lose it in a long time (after generations?) because their food items lack of specific chemicals. But what would be the point in removing toxin? People just shouldn't lick them, that simple it is. Firebelly toads never have that strong toxin that people couldn't catch them with bare hands.

  • yea they lose the toxins if they dont eat certain ants that contain it. they dont make it themselves its from their diet. firebelly toads make thier own toxin i think.

  • With wild poison dart frogs, the toxins are strong enough where if you were to simply touch it, your finger might get swollen or red.

  • he is very cute! but i dont think holding them is a good idea, the oils in out skin can halm them, and the toxins in their skin can cause irritaion.

  • I just got 1!!! They are aoo fun!! I have a green and a brown one!!' the only thing I don't like is feeding them crickets!!! Yuck!

  • mine has the same curves on the back of the head

  • Cool I just got 1 from petsmart today should I wait for it to get used to me before I hold it ?

  • i use to have 5 firebelly toads, there awesome toads!!!

  • My fire bellies make that sound naturally. This guy isn't harming the little girl. Quit being a douche ElfGirl and

    shawntelvillamayor.

  • OMG no! you have my email??? oh no's fucktartd.

    get a life and get off my videos loser.

  • @magana559 You're squeezing them to hard. And he peed on you because you sqush his bladder. I'm not trying to sound mean but that's what you're doing.

  • @magana5 Bad frog owner....and also ur a jackass

  • He feels pain just like you but just because your some "grater" life form that is stronger and bigger than he is so yeah squish him... Pure IGNORANCE! People are so stupid they run around with their heads up their butts with no regard as to the effect, go play 2 year old animal cruilty games with the other little boys on the block.

  • well, I love animals, not like a PETA member... but seriously NOT COOL! 1 the toxins from your skins are bad for him 2. your stressing him out, shorter life span. 3. he peed on you cause he was scared. and 4. IF YOU WERE A FROG YOU WOULD BE SO MAD WHY THE HELL DO PEOPLE HAVE NO RESPECT. pure Ignorance is what that is right there! Go squeeze your sides to that point and see if you dont pee or throw up or start screaming. -.-

  • Yeah its making noises cuz youre probly crushing him and hes just trying to say STOP. X(

  • @magana559 you are the fucktard
