this one's a girl, you can tell because the chin is the same color as the body. Also because she's like 2x the size of all the boy frogs I caught.

also I have such chubby hands in photos it's so unfair, curse my mom's baby hand genetics 😔

I hope you let her go afterwards; she doesn't look impressed with you for picking her up.

    Mr. Toad has been living in my back yard for around 7 years. I see him close to daily all summer. He keeps the spiders and and other bugs down under my house. He's a really good friend.

    When it gets too hot he goes for a swim in the koi pond.

    That looks like a cane toad.

    In Australia they're a massive invasive species. Maybe invasive is the wrong word, since they were introduced to eat the cane beatle. Decided that was to much effort and just terrorise everything else.

    When I was a kid they were 3000kms away now they're in my town and on the march too Western Australia

    Dope ass amphibian! Just keep in mind their skin is permeable, so soaps, oils, etc on your hand when you pick them up can make them sick.

  • Did you kiss it to see if it would turn into a princess who's down bad for you?

    It's flipping you off with its feet. Twice. I guess it didn't want to be picked up. Don't know. Maybe. Or it is just generally impolite.

    You shouldn't touch frogs with your bare hands. Their skin can absorb all kinds of nasty crap from your hands.

    my dog finds these all the time. luckily she knows animals are friends not food but she wants to sniff the hell out of everything she meets. Man she can be strong when she really wants to do something.

    Hello my baby, hello my honey...

    But seriously, he looks rather disappointed in you.
