I have removed this from the Size doesn't matter-Minnesota mission for you.

I meant to tell you this sooner but life has kept me busy. This is a very rare sighting; even the scientist I know from the herpcount.org site said he hadn't even seen one like this before and he sees very many Couch's Spadefoot Toads. This is quite a find!!

Yeah the eye thing was the reason I found him interesting. I would love to add my pictures there I will a little later thank you

That's odd about the two eye colors. I suggest you post some of your toad photos here: http://www.herpcount.org/ Arizona HerpCount. Herp Scientists created this site and I know one of them.
