Buy Phrynomantis Bifasciatus Toad Venom
Phrynomantis bifasciatus, commonly known as the ornate burrowing frog, is a species of frog native to sub - Saharan Africa. It is not known for producing venom. Instead, this frog is known for its unique behavior and adaptations.
The ornate burrowing frog has specialized features that help it survive in its environment. It spends much of its life underground, creating burrows where it remains during the dry season. During the rainy season, it emerges to breed in temporary pools of water.
If you are specifically interested in toad venom, it's worth noting that some toad species, such as the Colorado River toad (Incilius alvarius), secrete toxins on their skin that can be psychoactive if ingested or smoked.
Phrynomantis Bifasciatus Toad
This medium - sized frog, known as the banded rubber frog (Phrynomantis bifasciatus), can reach a maximum size of 75 mm. Its body is moderately robust, with a more elongated and flattened shape compared to many other frog species. When in motion, the frog carries its body high on slender limbs, usually walking or occasionally running, but not hopping. The head is mobile and capable of lateral movement, while the relatively small eyes have circular pupils. The digit tips are expanded into truncated discs.
One distinctive feature of Phrynomantis bifasciatus is its skin, which is smooth, glossy, and rubbery. The body is dark gray to black, with a light greyish underside. Commonly known as the Red rubber banded frog, it bears two reddish stripes running from front to back over its back, along with large reddish spots on the arms and legs and a notable spot on the rump.
Notably, Phrynomantis bifasciatus carries a potent toxin on its skin, making it one of the few species in South Africa with this characteristic. The toxin acts both locally by irritating the skin and mucous membranes and systemically, potentially affecting the heart muscle.
In terms of habitat, the banded rubber frog is found in various African countries, including Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Somalia, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitats encompass dry savanna, moist savanna, shrublands, grasslands, freshwater lakes, marshes, arable land, pastureland, and aquatic features like ponds, canals, and ditches.
The female banded rubber frog can reach a maximum size of 65 mm, while tadpoles may grow up to 37 mm. The maximum size of the male is yet unknown, but it typically ranges from 45 mm to 68 mm. Distinguishing features include a greyish underside with white spots, smooth and rubbery skin, and reddish spots on the arms and legs. In males, a darker throat helps differentiate between genders.
