Abstract
Maximum clutch size was 6199 and eggs hatched in 2-3 days, with metamorphosis in 15-100 days in B. hovstonensis. Ten recently metamorphosed laboratory toads were 1.10 .+-. 0.11 cm; wild-caught individuals were 0.84 .+-. 0.40 cm snout-vent length. Growth was more rapid in females than males, with both reaching adult size in 1 yr or less. Males reached sexual maturity in 1 yr, but females apparently did not do so for 2 yr.
