Cane toad ?

Bianca Jul 23, 2008 01:00 PM

Hi
This 3 inch toad has been coming into the backyard screened patio recently via a tiny rip in screen.
I feed him crickets he is free to come and go as he pleases and shows up every 2 days .
Is he a Cane Toad or reg toad?

Thanks

Cane toad. You can tell by the very broad flat head and the elongate angular parotoid glands (the big lump over each shoulder). The large native toad in your area, the southern toad, will have two rounded 'horns' between the eyes; there's a picture of one in the thread "What kind of frog/toad did I catch?" a couple spaces below this thread.

oh to bad hoped it was reg toad as Canes are a plight in the area but I will feed him less each time till he leaves.

I was giving himn 2 crickets every other day when he showed up will go with one and see if he leaves

Thanks
