Default For attention of v-max!!! Can you ID this for me??

Hi v-max,

I wondered if you could ID this toad for me. A number of different people have tried and they have come up with Cane, Terrestris and Rococco.

She is a WC so I don't know age. About 4 inches SVL. She only eats locusts and crickets and is very lazy. She has had the occasional earthworm, mealworm or morio but won't eat waxies.

I've been trying to have her possitively ID'd for weeks.

I don't think she's big enough for a cane. Also, from what I've been told, they will eat anything and she's quite picky.
She doesn't croak or make a noise so I presume she's a she.
She's quite a dark 'greeny' colour.

Hi Saxon, I'd still go with Cane from the looks. Apparently different Canes from different locations (i.e. Honduras, Colombia, wherever) will have different colourings -- my old Trevor was also very dark greenish-brown, and he was incredibly picky about his food. He didn't eat much to be honest, any my Ron and Hermione are regular pigs! Trevor wouldn't touch wax worms either. Ron and Hermione are about four inches SVL as well, as these toads live a very long time, I suspect they're juvenile and will take some time to reach optimal length. I'm not an expert, but hope this helps!!

Terry is just a little bigger than she was at Xmas when I got her.
How old would she be before she would be fully grown if she was a cane?
I have no idea of her age as she was WC.
