How to pith a toad (non-excretory)
FYI
Toads used to be pithed for frankensteinian biology experiments, particularly dealing with hearts and nervous systems. Take one live toad, preferably a cane toad, hold firmly by the back legs so that it doesn't fly across the laboratory on the up swing, swing around one's head then bring it down hard so that the head cracks against the edge of the laboratory bench (not so hard that its head snaps off and flies across the laboratory). Toad should be unconscious or dead after that. Ignore movement. Sever the backbone at the neck then with a probe push up the spinal nerve conduit and pulp the spinal nerve and the cerebellum. Ignore movement while doing so. Dissect out the heart, suspend between supports, flood with saline and apply various stimulants. Watch it beat. dissect out other bits of nerve and muscle, apply electrodes, charge, watch responses. The most revolting thing I was forced to do as an innocent student. katysails wrote: So you sneal up and pith on toads? Maybe we could start calling him "Toady".....

I thought cane toads were deadly poisonous?
We did similar experiments in A&P with frogs...we'd anesthetize them with chloroform, slice them open, and put drops of digitalis on their hearts to watch them have heart attacks....only the guy I shared a lab table with was a physician's son with a warm heart...he brought a suture kit and we sewed our frog back up...she survived for about 2 weeks (yes, we knew she was a she....full of eggs....as a future OB-GYN, my lab partner also performed an oopherectomy.... -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
