    Bufo punctatius

    Heres a red spotted toad (Bufo punctatius) toadlet that i found while working a few weeks ago. this isn't the best photographically, not being able to see the eyes and what not. But if you look closely you can see part of his tail he is absorbing. It was so small, smaller than the fingernail on my pinky. this was taken zoomed all the way out at 4 inches with my canon s1 is. so depending on your monitor screen it is larger than rl, by alot. no crop.

    Re: Bufo punctatius

    thanks all, my main goal was to get one with the tail AND 4 legs, i have some better ones of a different toadlet, just as small but a little duller in colors, with a more classic pose (ie seeing the eyes and what not).
