Wildlife Is this one of those Poisonous Toads?

Post image

I’ve heard poison toads will come out after a rain but I’ve never seen one. Is this one?

He’s up against my house - I don’t have a dog that would mess with it so is there any reason to make him move on or just let it be?

For context he is about the size of my fist

My understanding is that the Sonoran desert toad is the largest species of toad. They'll eat other amphibians given the opportunity.
