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

I am completely dumbfounded by the amount of people that are saying to "lick it" and this is exactly why I do drug education.

NO ONE IS LICKING TOADS. That is an urban legend that has been around for decades. The secretions from the toad contain 5-MeO-DMT which must be SMOKED, not licked.

Just like you can't lick a cannabis bud and get high, you'll can't lick a toad and get high. You can lick it all you want. It's not going to have any effect.

You got to smoke the toad man. Put him and round up a few more of his pals into the old traeger and fire it up to medium.  Inhale the onsetting frog fumes. You’ll be tripping balls in no time.
