This community is dedicated to the fire-bellied toads of the genus Bombina, a group of small amphibians known for their bright red, yellow, or orange ventral coloration, used as a warning to predators.

There are six recognized species: Bombina bombina (European fire-bellied toad, mainland Europe), Bombina variegata (yellow-bellied toad, central and southern Europe), Bombina pachypus (Apennine yellow-bellied toad, Italy), Bombina orientalis (Oriental fire-bellied toad, Korea, northeastern China, and adjacent Russia), Bombina maxima (Yunnan fire-bellied toad, Yunnan and possibly Myanmar), and Bombina microdeladigitora (Hubei fire-bellied toad, southern China provinces).

This space is for the study, care, and appreciation of the Bombina species.

I personally have 6 individuals right now, and I’m attempting a captive-breeding program.
