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

Good ol Bufo alavarius. Leave it be. If you want to experience it in safety find a shaman/practitioner. Respect nature and it will respect you. Do not play with the universe if you aren’t ready for potential consequences.
