Juvenile Fire-Bellied Toads (Bombina orientalis)
Fire-Bellied Toads belong to the family Bombinatoridae which consists of 8 species in the genus Bombina.
The Oriental Fire-Belly Toad is the most colourful of all Bombina species. With its grass-green back with black dots and stripes and its vibrant orange belly, these small semi-aquatic frogs are stunning.
To “scare off” potential predators, they will flip on their back in a defensive pose and show off their strikingly colored belly. The bright color of the belly warns the agitator of the existence of toxic chemicals in the skin of this cute frog.
Adult Fire-Bellied Toads range from 1,2 to 2" or 4 to 5 cm in total length, of which the females tend to be slightly larger and plumper built than males.
The average size of the hatchlings is about ½" or 1,5 cm. If well fed & maintained, they can reach adult size and sexual maturity in 12-16 months. Fire-Bellied Toads are very long-lived and can easily live up to 20+ years.
