Hallo i am Luigi and i am new of this forum. One year ago i took a couple of these special and wonderful toads in a show here in Italy, it's called Reptiles day in Longarone. After some months the couple was enlarged and now i have 7 toads, only one surely male and other big females full of eggs. This Jenuary i tried to breed them without success but i try again in April. I fed them with several quantities of fruit flies and also some supplements as Calcium plus vitamin D3. I put them in the refrigerator for 5 days at 7 degrees (celsius). Next to weeks to increase the temperatures reach about 20 degrees. The important point is about rain chamber. Toads have to be subjected to a strong rain for about 5 hours, i prefer to start one hour before the sunrise. If the male is receptive he will embrace the female. This hug could also extend for days, my advice is to repeat again the rain every 12 hours so the male won't leave female. You should spray with an atomizer on the couple in amplexus, they will seem annoyed but i think is good to do this practice. After some days the male should bring the female in the water and they should copulate with the subsequent release of eggs.
Here some pictures of these months trying to breed them!
