The Magical Toad

[RushRC]

Ok this is a true story.....

I was at the house all day and my wife left the house around noon and came back at 6pm. I helped her unload the groceries out of the car. She then went into our bathroom and closet to change clothes. I had to take a pee and went into the toilet and looked down and there is a freaking frog in the toilet!!! WTF!!
I'm oh my god there is a frog in the bowl. My wife came over and looked and freaked out! I put some rubber gloves on and got it out and he tried to go back down the pipes but I got him out. He is now in my aquarium with our lizard. We have named him poop!

How the hell could a frog get in the toilet? He is no small one either

Swam up from the septic tank? is that even possible?

 

[RushRC]

We have no septic tank - we have city water and waste

 

[mnm]

Maybe he went in the toilet, and not come out of it? I don’t know! Maybe he came from the sewers. LOL :spit:

I heard about a snake in a toilet before though. But not a toad

Does you bathroom look like this Bruce?

Maybe it was a prince hiding in the toilet, you should have kissed him.

 

[ZANDOR]

Cats? dog?
Any way you shake it..Its wierd..I woke up to a bird in the bathroom (cats) But never any thing in the Jonny

More than likely swam up the sewer lines somehow. People flush reptiles down the throne all the time...right?

 

[beason]

was it a reg old frog or a "exotic" one? maby your neighbor flushed it and it came to visit you.. thats kinda funny you kept it though.. lol

 

[mnm]

why would someone flush a reptile? :shrug:

 

[akmadmaxx]

No body has asked for a picture yet?? What is going on?

 

[RushRC]

Here it is - no idea of sex and really dont care

Good thing the wife didn't find it after she peed. Imagine her sitting there and her the look on her face as the frog says "ribbit ... ribbit" LOL

I'm thinking that he jumped in the toilet from in the house. Do ya have any kids? Theres alot of traps and stuff in plumbing piping that I would think itd be impossible for him to come up that way. Thats weird though for sure. When I was younger I always used to worry about snakes coming up the toilet and bitting me in the rear..lol

 

[Tweak]

why would someone flush a reptile? :shrug:

Cause they don't want 'em anymore?

 

[mnm]

Cause they don't want 'em anymore?

so they simply flush them away? i find that mean.. they could just give it away, or take it to a swamp of some sort.

I think you got drunk and ate it, and don't remember crapping it out.
It might have survived your digestive system???

 

[Tweak]

I used to see stories on the Discovery channel all the time about people who wanted a Reptile... Snake, Alligator (My mom is living proof os that one) and realized they simply couldn't handle it. Sure, SOME people might have the common sense to try and get it to a safe place. Remeber, it is the human race we are dealing with here lol. People will dump thier problems anywhere.

 

[RatzoRC]

In the early 80's in NYC, there was a huge rat infestation, and rats coming up in the toilet was common on the news.
I've never seen one in my toilet personally.

 

[RushRC]

I am thinking he came up from the pipes somehow. Breather tubes or something. He could only get in from the pipes - I have a daughter and she would not even think about touching a frog.

If my wife went to do some business and saw that or heard it croaking - oh my she would of flipped screamed and probably left a mess all over the floor.

this is just wrong on SOOOO many levels....I've had some pretty extensive herp collections in my day and almost ALL of them came from people looking to do just this......please keep in mind when you introduce a non-native species to an environment you can do serious damage.....thanks to people doing the swamp dumping we now have serious moskitoe issues in S Fl....the monitors and pythons eat the natural predators (fish, small anoles and skinks)for the bugs that eat the moskitos.......to anyone who is considering a reptile...please don't do the Macho man thing and buy a snake or lizard you can't touch cause he's bigger and stronger than you....they do not bond EVER and can't be trusted in any way shape or form......
