It is always helpful to include where you found the animal you want identified, since there are hundreds of toads species in the world. However, this one seems to be easy, it appears to be a cane toad, Bufo marinus.

The most probable capture point is state Sonora in Mexico.
I bought in in Mexico City in a pet marquet called "The sonoran marquet"

That toad looks like a marine/cane toad (Bufo marinus). They are pest in florida and australia and native to South American. Huge toads. Extremelly toxic to other animals.
