    Hi All

    I havnt seen it for ages but cleaning out all the toms and peppers today I have spoted it , not a full grown adult about half the size , it is living under a couple of poly seed trays plus I have trays of water as I grow Saracenias.

    So looked lively to me and I have enough crawlies for food etc

    So what to do ?? do I leave it alone or let it go in the garden and next door cats who practicaly live in my house and garden might get it ???

    So I am thinking leave alone ...

    what do ya all tink

    Spruce

        If any cat or dog decided to pick it up they would foam at the mouth due to the toxins in the Toad's skin and drop it immediately.
        Unless the greenhouse door is left open it won't be able to find a mate and breed.

        Had a "Catweasle" evening last night, watching some of the old episodes from the 1970's with Daughter Willow & Sister Mel.

        Great stuff, but then we were all saddened to learn that "Carrot" had died of lung cancer
