Re: Wisconsin Hognose observations 2020
My contact obs were some cb trade westerns and not real relevant except maybe tangetial to toady sensitivities. I wish i had paid more attention to the toads sp that were collected in large numbers in the evening, in Mayport. When Mayport was still fantastic with fauna and little tucked away wetlands.

An adult and well started juvenile, both healthy, vigorous and died suddenly within days of feeding the florida toads. Sorry i dont have more toad identification info. But it was Duval county.
