Ha! Love these little guys. I always had “Horny Toads” as a little kid in West Texas. Haven’t seen a single one in San Antonio in all these years. One of my boyfriends gave me a bronze one (paperweight) from James Avery in the 80s. I still have it. It lives in my kitchen window, “sunning” itself.

Thanks for the link! They are a Texas treasure.

Nods. My husband got me a little cast iron one after hearing about my little guy. See my post above. Jose was an amazing little fella. I hate to think that they are passing from us. I sure hope they are just regrouping somewhere : /

May God keep watch.

They are indeed a Texas treasure! As are the Texas Tortoise.

They used to be everywhere too. Now you don't see them around anymore.

How many played with them as kids?
