Feeding

Any prob with feeding small frozen canetoads to keelbacks?

Are you serious? Great idea if you want to kill the keelbacks. Cane toad poison is very effective. As far as I know, it is not denatured by freezing.

The keelback is one of a handful of native Australian animals that can prey successfully on Cane Toads. It can consume large numbers of eggs, tadpoles and newly-metamorphosed young of the Cane Toad safely however they dont fair well to preying on larger cane toads and i believe that adult keelbacks have been found dead with partly digested adult cane toads inside.

G'day guys,

They can survive it, but I doubt it does them any good. I wouldn't risk it personally, they are easy to feed on fish.

Keelbacks are one of the few snakes that can eat toads , so I have read , but thats why I am asking...

Last thing I want to do is kill my keelbacks , it's taken years to find some!

Some handle it, others dont.

Thats what I want to know.

I was thinking only small ones , but some one suggested feeding cane toad legs as the poison is in the glands behind the eyes , but thinking more about it seem the eggs and tadpoles are also poisionus maybe more of the toad is as well..

I will reserch it more... Just wonderd if anyone here feed them.
