Talk:Scaphiopus holbrookii

cannibalistic morph based on food availability contradiction
There is a contradiction between the 3rd para of the behavior section and the reproduction section on whether this species exhibits cannibal tadpole morphs. I believe the behavior section is correct, and the nat geo article cited is referring to spadefoots in general in which some species have marked cannibal tadpole morphs (as do some other species of frogs), but in contrast to Scaphiopus holbrookii. I'll make a small edit to reflect this if there are no objections. (edited for clarity) Xarzin (talk) 06:12, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Scaphiopus holbrookii's recommended temperature range and pH range
There appears to be a lack of a clear temperature range that is recommended for the Scaphiopus holbrookii. I am no expert on toads to any degree, so if there is some sort of consistent temperature range and Ph range for the kind of species or family the Scaphiopus holbrookii is in, please let me know. 98.52.218.247 (talk) 22:17, 5 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello- I saw your post referred it someone who works with these and other amphibians. Got a rather thorough response. Below in the quote box is the text of his response, with the sources he mentions linked at the bottom of this section. Note that his reference to "ideal" comes from my hasty use of that word in my e-mail to him. If you have a Wikipedia account, you can access the JSTOR articles via that; see here: WP Library. I can't tell if the herpetology journal is available via that.


 * Probably more than you were looking for, but hope it helps. Eric talk 18:34, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
