When was the last time you saw a horny toad? Ok, a horned toad lizard?

We kept them as pets when I was a kid. Yes, they do spit blood (and not tobacco juice). I've handled many but now it's only stuffed or dried animal. They say it's the fire ants that they're gone.....

Not around this continent, maybe as a pet, some people are weird enough, they should be left where they are.....

Yesterday while tilling my garden. CB knows, they are all around here in west Texas. I saw two of them. Baby ones are very cute.

Yes, the baby ones are adorable. I found a nest of eggs once back when they were still around. Glad they've found someplace to exist still!

Horny toads are actually lizards, not toads. And yes , I did i have one as a child. He mostly buried himself in the sand, so it was not a very exciting pet.
