Juvenile toads can be very difficult to ID; the best diagnostic characters (cranial crests, parotoid glsnds, etc.) are not yet well developed. My best guess on your toadlet is Southern Toad, but I wouldn't put any money on that.

I hope your right but yes hard to say as cane toads have completely taken over the area if they are non cane toads it would be great.
All 3 took off after heavy rains hope they survive the Cane toads

These look big. Babies of most American species of toads are usually about the size of a finger nail. The ones who have could be cane toads.
