Bufo alvarius (Colorado River Toad, Sonoran Desert Toad).

This is the legendary, rare and powerfully mysterious Sonoran Desert Toad. This venomous  toad finds its home in the Sonoran desert of the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico. 

Bufo alvarius is nocturnal and escapes the tremendous desert heat by remaining underground, emerging at night to congregate in wet areas near streams and lakes and irrigated fields.

The Sonoran Desert Toad is the largest North American toad, attaining a body length of up to 7 inches. They are smooth and leathery in appearance. Brown to olive green in color with a white underside. Bufo alvarius live approximately 15 years.

POISONOUS. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND ANIMALS.

We sometimes have some juvenile toads available.  The are usually about silver-dollar size. If you have a preference, just let us know in the comments section when you check out. There are some nice things about having a younger toad: It’s less than a year old, so you know its got a long life ahead of it. They are real cute, and they do grow fast. They are just voracious. They just love to eat. And they really pack on the grams and grow quick.
