I don't think you'd need to go out of your way to get a US native toad to scent with. Hognoses have responded to numerous types of scent aren't always toads based including treefrogs, chicken eggs, and tuna fish.

Two into your question directly, I think that almost any toad would do, including Fowlers, Americans, Woodhouse's, etc. Southern hognoses seem to love spadefoot toads.

... nature has ceased to be what it always had been - what people needed protection from. Now nature - tamed, endangered, mortal - needs to be protected from people. When we are afraid, we shoot. But when we are nostalgic, we take pictures.
