My love for toads began when I was a little girl. My mom brought home some tadpoles one day that she collected from a pond. We watched them metamorphose into tiny little toadlets and I remember how fascinated I was.
That was long forgotten and much life happened, until one day my husband came home to tell me that the puddle in front of my neighbor's house (which always seemed to be there) was filled with tadpoles. I said, "Really?" and went outside to look. Sure enough. I got my scooper and a large container and I collected some. Thus, my love for toads was reborn and I began a hobby.
