The poison cane toads secrete is actually called Bufotoxin, and its really potent. A purified version is or was used for heart surgery because of how it relaxes vascular muscle.
It's also the reason my common European toad is called beauford, because of his Latin name being bufo bufo which is where the name of the toxin comes from
Woah
"gotta give up the toad"
I know so many dogs that have died from eating them :(
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
Another reason they were introduced was to get rid of cane beetles
WHOA when she found a cane toad my first thought 'oh invasive?' but NO! Costa Rica is their actual home that's crazy! I'm so used to them being the status of invasive species I completely forgot where they are supposed to live.
Hunh. TIL! I only ever see them as invasive too!
Theres so many really incredible native species of reptiles from Costa Rica! The cane toad just happens to be one of those species
mood xD i always forget invasives have a home somewhere
yup. One crazy thing is they're native as far north as south Texas. So they're native pretty close to where I am but invasive over in Florida.
Extremely underrated as pets - and ethical to buy 'wild' caught, since they're generally wild-caught in their Florida invasive range. They're like a (subjectively) more handsome, more hardy pixie frog.
@@nerodia I didn't realize florida had cane toads. I lived in cocoa Beach for a long time and i never saw one. I guess they are down south?
You guys have completely changed my pov of snakes in the last year. Although it doesn't help that my family hates them☹️. Keep it up and happy new year!
Same😂
Same but more like 3 years for me 😅
Snakes have a bad reputation, they are seriously awesome animals! Maybe your family needs to watch the channel too! 🐍🐍
Luckily my fam are fine with snakes. Hope you can convince your fam.
I'm planning on taking my sister to Snake Discovery next month in the hopes that she sees how cool they are, lol
The iguana non-bite made my day, I laughed SO hard, hahahaha. Happy New Year!
I would've laughed that hard if my sister wouldn't murder me if I made even the sound of a door shutting
I work at a theme park and someone came in with a snake Discovery pride shirt today! It was a fun experience! I hope you two have a good new year!
Hey did you tell them that you watched snake discovery?
It was so cool to see a Cane Toad where its meant to be! I'm so used to them been considered a horrible creature that must be eradicated. I'd really only ever heard of people going out to catch them to kill them. (In Australia)
It just warms my heart how comfortable Ed is being on camera now! 😄
(talking about the frog) "and this is full size, too!"
me over here, always amazed at what frogs are considered small, because the only frog or toad I've ever seen in the wild is a pacific tree frog. They grow to 2" max, apparently. I have never seen one more than about an inch and a half long lol.
That cane toad Emily found is HUGE! And he’s pretty calm
Happy new year 🥳. Last year I started watching you and it has made me love snakes and reptiles 🥰
All of those animals are so adorable. I think my favorite was the Ctentosaura similis. I feel like if those lizards stayed that size, they would be perfect. The Cat eyed snake was cool too!
15:40 Ed is like poke him👉🐸 🤣😂to funny. Keep safe & have a great time. Thanks for your time
So glad you made the herping bit of this trip a separate video from your invertebrate one 🙏🏾
This arachnophobe thanks you 🙏🏾
OMG as a native Costa Rican this video makes me so happy, I was just watching your Florida invasive species video and it made me think back to my child hood when my cousin, friends, and I would go outside after school and look for different reptiles, spiders, and flowers.
The bird noises do not bother me, to me they it sounds/reminds me of natures melody.
growing up in Australia, i often went cane toad hunting as a kid (collecting live ones for euthanasia) my area was flooded with them and they were terrible for the environment here. there were big metal bins where you can leave cane toads, dead or alive and they'll be picked up in the morning, sorted, euthanised and safely disposed of
Snake discovery has been a large influnce for me and they are my favotite channel ever!!
i would love it if you guys could do a video all about grey tree frogs!
I was shocked to see Emily casually holding the cane toad because as a kid I watched a sensationalized documentary about them which portrayed them as a terrifying all-powerful beast which can kill you on contact.
It was nice to see what they are actually like in their native habitat and learn that they can be handled! It sucks that they are so uncontrollable as an invasive species but I'm glad I learned more about them from this video. Thanks for sharing your herping adventures Emily and Ed! I wish you could have found a boa, that would have been awesome!
Beautiful animals of my country!!
Enjoy your vacations!!!
😍😍🤩
Pura vida!!
That baby iguana false bite was so cute! 🥺
I'm glad you guys had Fun Herping Over here, love you guys, good vibes From Costa Rica ❤️✌️✨
Ok funny story, one time we were visiting some relatives of my dad, and they lived in the middle of a forest, and we could hear the king frogs we were surrounded by them, and one of them hopped on the porch of the house and scared the living Daylights out of my mom, and now she cannot even see frogs on a screen 😂😂😂😂
1:30 here in brazil, in my house i have lots of those living around the house, i love seeing them, i hae them as "free" pets
As someone from the Caribbean, this is probably the closest I’ll come to seeing you guys with reptiles that are literally in my yard lol 😆
I literally love your herping videos 🤩. I miss when you used to post more of them.
I remember being in Costa Rica as a kid and chasing after so many different kinds of lizards! There were also scorpions on the resort and howler monkeys that did a BIG SCREÄM outside our window every day
Hi Emily and Ed, over here In Australia, we have the freshwater snake or keelback (Tropidonophis mairii) that eats cane toads and is successful if it doesn’t eat too many. Also, some dogs get ‘high’ licking the backs of cane toads.
Crows will also flip them over and eat them upside down to avoid the toxins
@Beemo, I have one 😂 we toad proofed our yard because of it.
@@nursingandoutdoors I didn’t know that, but we don’t have crows where I am, except sometimes the migratory torresian crow
@@stephaniebarden8926 I'm in Queensland with the same crow, them and water rats can eat cane toads by avoiding the toxin glands, it's a learnt behaviour passed on through the generations, I think its quite common in the population now though
Oh, the tiny little snake is so adorable!
I think the Mexican tree frog was my favorite, but I've got a softspot for lil' frogs. The Cane Toad was really cool too, and this reminded me that when I was in Mexico I took hundreds of photos of iguanas.
The gecko was Sooo cuteee love your vids!
Ah, you folks are so cool! Thanks for taking the time to show us these very cool animals! ❤️😎
I love how she sounds so happy when the animal is mad its so cute and mad😊😂🎉❤
Haha that frog had some good camouflage. That gave me a good laugh, almost blamed ed for pointing wrong.
You 2 and NERD are the best!
Happy New Years to the both of you.
I love lizards! That iguana was ADORABLE!
I haven't watched the vid yet but looking at the thumbnail it look's awesome. You make my day brighter!!
What I like about Snake Discovery is that even the topics I don't think I'll find interesting, I end up loving because Emily and Ed are so engaging and funny
Yes! I’m early for once! I really enjoy all of your videos and these two videos in Costa Rica are really interesting!
Last year I went to Costa Rica and I went herping and it was by far my favorite vacation you guys have all ways been an amazing influence on me in my life thank you
I absolutely love your videos THERE so enjoyable !!!
Now all those critters have a great alien abduction story to tell their friends.
6:32 i though she said “kitty kitty kitty” like she was trying to cat-call the lizard LOL
Happy new year snake discovery😁🐍
I think everyone (including the frogs) would appreciate you using gloves when handling amphibians. Liked the video, but you know...
Fun fact: tympanum means drum, as in ear drum, which is why the instrument is called a tympani!
Hi Emily! Hi Ed! I love the work and ya'll inspire me because I LOVE reptiles all through my heart from the bottom to the top!!
We get so much cane toads here in Australia specially when it’s raining a lot, their cute but annoying.
Congrats on Costa Rica that's pretty awesome. I've always loved hearing Ed during the helping cause is just so funny about it. And I'm glad you found such fun spieciesi loved the geko inside the house.
Ringing in the new year with snake discovery
We have a family of house geckos in our apartment. There are giant ones too (They eat roaches).
I went to Costa Rica this year. Saw si many birds and got to chase the iguanas. My uncle saw a fuir de lance while on a hike.
Herping in what looks to be an evening gown... :-) Great intro!
I liked the cane toad. He was cute
The spiney tail, he was a sweetheart. House Geckos, a close second.
Around 15:13 your shirt looks like it's sparkling like wolf spider eyes. :D
🕷🕷🕷
Dang it! The video is over already? Jeez that 18 min went fast. I could literally watch you guys for hours. Ed made me lol the first time the bigger iguana opened his mouth wide in anger. The cane toad was my fave though. You guys deserve a show on Animal Planet.
Omg those house geckos are SOOO loud! I graduated highschool in Guam and they are everywhere there and they loved living in our air-conditioning units! When I got bored in class I would look around and see how many geckos I could spot 😅 You guys should go to Guam 🇬🇺 it's a US territory and the frogs are so big they used to make our beagle cry in fear if we left her outside 😅 and don't get me started on the spider's!
I'm a new person I've been watching only for a few days and I love you guys ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Best way to start the new year ♥
7:00 Baby Iguana “I am T-REX don’t mess with me!” 🦖🦖
I have that exact shirt button, light blue, and I got it signed by all of the machine members at the Keswick theater in Glenside😅
Emily's brain: 😇 on the hunt for reptiles lalalalala 😇
Ed's brain: must.....😈 Charge.....😈 Shirt.....😈 Yay😇😇😇😇
You should make a bearded dragon care video
I have had a lot of toads in my backyard, you find them everywhere in the country
Thought this was gunna be a Coyote Peterson video with the iguana, but turns out the baby was bluffing! 😂
Yes! I love the herping vids!
Emily: "Bite me!"
Baby iguana: "Nah, human skin tastes bad!"
Fun! Fun! Fun! You deserve the time off. The iguana was so cool. Well caught!
Thank you for doing a video for us on your holiday x
"Mom! The crazy people are in the bushes again!"
YAY part 2
When in Thailand I saw house geckos running up the walls inside the bedroom lol,it was unusual for me because I live in England
Such a handsome little toad!
Last time we were in Costa Rica, we went swimming with some yellow-bellied water snakes! Ha, someone thought it was an eel at first.
16:41 he is smiling :)
I think the common Mexican tree frog is my favorite type of frog
I’ve seen so many cane toads. Ive always known them as Bufos
Thanks for bringing us on vacation with you, I feel spoiled! 💗
As an Australian seeing yu holding a cane toad made me freak xD Was always taught no touchy!! haha
I hope they post a video of there 2022 Breeding plans
they r introduced to the Philippines too but interesting the effects is not as severe as Australia since so far the cobras and monitor lizards in tje Philippines tolerate the poison (while the fruit eating monitors of the Philippines dont even touch any amphibian as food) . however there r some effects can be seen still like pit vipers dont hage that tolerance. also worry is that if they reach in a province in the Philippines where the Philippine toad lives as the cane toad and Philippine toad could compete
Predator - dinner time
Cane toad - go on eat me it's only a matter of time before you croak
Ed: I think the poison stops your heart
As do all things that kill you, eventually. xD
Cane toad! I love cane toads!!!
Anyone else see what I think is a missed snake right before the gecko at about 1:23 when it says "Ed! hey, come here." on the screen?
Happy New year snake discovery Team!! 🎉🎊
I hope that Martha and doug have a very happy New year🎉🎉🎉
Me and my brother found a cane toad right by our house a few years ago, I was excited when I saw my first one!
I think I saw a spider jumping next to the snake when u set the snake free
I love your vids so much
Hi! I have to thank you because you made my mom want to get a hog nose snake from someone and I so happy. I love all your vids and I hope you have a happy new year!!!!!
yessss finally another herping video!
So, I used to live in Australia and Kane Toads are a horrible invasive species (love them in their natural habitats and as pets). They eat EVERYTHING.
My cat named Opal (he was a mix of Mane Coon and Ragdoll. White white blue eyes and cream pointed coat, very large and as Fluffy as a cloud. ) he was messing around in the garden, found a cane toad, played with it or something, I don't know but he came inside panicking and foam running from his mouth. I immediately took him to the bathtub, rinsed his mouth and bathed him while on the phone with a VET, it was the weekend. I was told to keep a close eye on him and if he didn't get better or got worse to come immediately but there is nothing they can really do about it except life support in some cases where it isn't too severe. Thankfully the little fluffball got better and after that never touched a kane toad again. I didn't even know until then that we got cane toad in our yard as it was a tiny well closed off yard where we had never seen one before but after this incodent we saw them some times and I'd put on some gloves, grab them and walk with them to a Park q few minutes away where I know they stay a lot. I don't have to heart to cull them like a lot of Australians do.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 🥳
Emily is sparkly! 🤩
Cool house gecko. Man I miss them and Okinawa Japan.
I'm early for once! Also I love snakes do you have any tips on corn snakes? We have one but I just wanted to know
Baby Gecko are so cute
My favorite was the baby house gecko
Hello, love your personallity
HAPPY NEW YEAR
"This is a cane toad!"
Me, an Australian "KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!"
