I got some cane toads a while back from a local petstore which accidentally got them in. When i got them they both had a couple swollen looking extrusions on them but i just thought it was a normal abnormality and thought nothing of it foolishly.
I realize now that those were swollen ticks since i recently discovered one toad deceased with a very large tick on it.
i removed the tick intact. i also checked the rest of the toads for ticks but i found none.
but now to the actual topic at hand, i require tick identification as i wish to keep this tick as ive always wanted one as a pet, may sound odd but i appreciate all arachnids and yes i understand the diseases i obviously aint lettin it eat me or anyone else.
How do i identify the tick species?
