Is the keyboard on your device broken? It appears that your punctuation and "caps" settings are only functioning intermittently.

He probably wedged himself in that slot to avoid getting picked up by a larger critter. My toads would wedge into a spot and then puff up to stay there.

I can tell you first hand about toads hiding in tight spots.
I get one inside my "closed off" pen every now and then. They are very hard to find during the day. But they are right there.
My wife told me for weeks about a huge toad that was in one of the watering pools every morning. I'd come home and rip the place to shreds and not only could I not find one, but I also did not ever find a single spot where one could get in there!
Sure as anything, when I was re modeling the pen, I found four GIGANTIC cane toads underneath a dog house.

I go through this every summer. We have native toads that come get in all my tortoise waters at night. As I go around making sure all the torties are in their boxes and locked up for the night, I have to pull the toads out of their water and I put them on the other side of a giant brick wall that encircles the whole property. I don't know how they keep getting back in unless they are climbing the wall, which I think I would have seen, and doesn't seem physically possible.

Crafty little buggers.
