Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I was in Rothrock State Forest today, outside of State College , PA, and found a few toads. I can't tell if they are fowlers or american toads. There will be 3 pictures total in the next few replies.

Also found and photo if interested wasa ~3" milliped and a bout a 2.5" horned catipiler of some sort (looks likethe goliath ones you can buy to feed reptiles.) And on the road on the way to where i park was a 5" salamander had had been run over i have a pic of that too, only the head has a bit of damage.

Anyways on to the pics.

Toad 2

And finally toad 3

You really should get Peterson's Field Guide...

Judging only by the coloration of the first one, and the number of "warts" per blotch, I would say American. It would be best to look at the cranial crests and whether or not they touch the partoid gland.

It's very cute. It must be very tiny. The way it seems to be looking at the hands it's sitting in he seems to be very curious about the environment it suddenly found itself in-human hands.
