Description

The listing, Taxidermy Toad has ended.

My Name is Andrew, Self-proclaimed picker and procurer of the old and peculiar items. I travel all of California looking for those hidden, rare, vintage, classic, hard to find, treasures. For years I have attended estate sales, garage sales, Thrift stores, Old barns, grandma’s glass cases and more. Genres include: trading cards sport and other, jewelry, Avon, Barbie, Star wars, clothing, Hot Wheels, princess house and more…. I will give my very best description of each item. Most items are old/vintage and will be un-modified, un- changed, or un-restored in any way from the original way I found it. For this reason…

Details: This handsome gentleman has been immortalized for the pleasure of this auction. He is missing a finger but I think that just gives him character. I do not know the species so if anyone can identify I will provide an extra gift for the winner of the auction. The toad has a zipper on the bottom, maybe a hidden trinket box.

Reminder: I am a collector, not a professional in all categories and or genres of my items. I will do my best to research what I can, but please take a moment to do your own research as well. If I am mistaken about a specific item, please, please, please bring it to my attention.

Satisfaction: My ultimate goal for my fans is their complete satisfaction. I will always do my best to settle disputes fairly and honestly. I sell thousands of items so discrepancies will happen from time to time.

Man there's no way this is gonna end up with me...i think I'm going to cry. I was meant to have this. I only allow unique frog/toad items into my collection and this 100% fits the bill.

**Attn Winner** if this guy becomes too much trouble too look after, feed and clean up after, I'll happily adopt!!

Awesome auction ....very cool !!!! Not everyday you see one of these on Listia ... Peace / Blessings Always Tommy G

PS: Can we have a contest to find a good name for this toad ?? Perhaps who ever has the most likes on their suggestion ..would win ... If we get 50+ suggestions I'll personally ... send the winner a surprise gift ..

May 26th, 2016 at 6:03:56 PM PDT by

I would not take the paper out that is his stuffing and he will eventually crack he is not made to be used as a purse or trinket that is how they stuffed him and instead of sewing him they put a zipper for access so whoever gets him better leave the paper inside alone unless they want him to crack cause like he said he is dried and will crack they are fragile he is meant to kick back and keep you company not hide your goodies lol

Jun 2nd, 2016 at 4:58:59 PM PDT by

Jun 4th, 2016 at 1:21:55 PM PDT by

As for names - HypnoToad (Futrorama) since he's got us all fascinated, and he has the same look- Casey (why not), Justin, and my toad was called Rah-poosh-ka (which means toad in ukrainian) Or Fin, since he's living for Infinity in this preserved body :) Hopefully the person who gets him will treat him with respect and love :) <3

Jun 3rd, 2016 at 9:41:17 PM PDT by

absolutely intriguing, I love those names, nice and funny...lol

Jun 4th, 2016 at 1:20:53 PM PDT by

I love this guy, how big is he. It would make a wonderful Father's Day gift for my husband. We both love frogs and toads.

May 30th, 2016 at 11:23:08 AM PDT by

Drewsie! This is the best listing I have ever had the pleasure to take part in! I care for 3 bonsai pieces and always look for interesting ways to dress the topsoil. This will be amazing. If I was not a single bloke already, I certainly would be when any prospective mate found a toad in my bonsai
You are aware last minute rush of bidders this will command, yes? It will be epic!

May 30th, 2016 at 2:19:24 AM PDT by

Lol.. I believe this handsome toad has achieved rock star status now. I am so glad that you are interested in him, I am absolutely positive he would look smashing adorning your top soil. Good luck on bidding =)

May 30th, 2016 at 11:32:04 AM PDT by

Maybe the missing finger could have something do do with why he croaked

May 29th, 2016 at 8:52:02 PM PDT by

I think there is a conspiracy there here =)

it's a Cane Frog,
The cane toad (Rhinella marina), also known as the giant neotropical toad or marine toad, is a large, terrestrial true toad which is native to South and mainland Middle America, but has been introduced to various islands throughout Oceania and the Caribbean, as well as northern Australia. It is a member of the genus Rhinella, but was formerly in the genus Bufo, which includes many different true toad species found throughout Central and South America. The cane toad is a prolific breeder; females lay single-clump spawns with thousands of eggs. Its reproductive success is partly because of opportunistic feeding: it has a diet, unusual among anurans, of both dead and living matter. Adults average 10–15 cm (3.9–5.9 in) in length; the largest recorded specimen weighed 2.65 kg (5.8 lb) with a length of 38 cm (15 in) from snout to vent.
The cane toad has poison glands, and the tadpoles are highly toxic to most animals if ingested. Because of its voracious appetite, the cane toad has been introduced to many regions of the Pacific and the Caribbean islands as a method of agricultural pest control. The species derives its common name from its use against the cane beetle (Dermolepida albohirtum). The cane toad is now considered a pest and an invasive species in many of its introduced regions; of particular concern is its toxic skin, which kills many animals—native predators and otherwise—when ingested.
