Bumblebee toad for sale

The back of the toad is black with yellow spots and stripes. The lower ventral area is black with red markings, and the feet are typically solid red except for the hind toes. These ventral red spots can extend to the dorsum, particularly in females. Markings are highly variable and it is rare for any of them to be symmetrical.

They were first discovered in Córdoba, Argentina. Bumblebee toad for sale are primarily found in Paraguay and Argentina, but have been occasionally observed in Uruguay and Brazil. Their range may also extend into Bolivia.

Melanophryniscus stelzneri was originally described in 1875. Currently two subspecies are recognized: Melanophryniscus stelzneri stelzneri and Melanophryniscus stelzneri spegazzinii Gallardo, 1961. Other former subspecies are now considered full species, namely Melanophryniscus dorsalis and Melanophryniscus fulvoguttatus.

Melanphryniscus are toxic in the wild. Their natural diet is made up of mites and ants. It is believed that the toxins are created from alkaloids found in their natural diet. The brightly colored pattern is an example of aposematism. In captivity, they become non-toxic.
