I used to keep toads when I got out of college...but local ones..Bufo americanus and B.w. fowlerii...I loved their faces...I could project anything I liked into them. So, of course, my first pair were named Fred and Ethel. (Just names....didn't really know the sex...) Eventually, Fred died...so he was replaced by Julius...Julius and Ethel, another perfect couple...Well, after Julius kicked (too sick to comment on that....) I couldn't leave Ethel alone, and it was about time for a change in her life...so I added Natalie Barney, Radclyffe Hall, and (briefly) Djuna Barnes.....Ethel lasted many years, and I made sure that she was never lonely! Now I just stick with snakes...I have 8 corn snake eggs incubating if anyone in NYC is interested...Take care, Eric
