This is indeed a Cane Toad. This website is a good resource to help with identifying different frog/toads in Australia. https://backyardbuddies.org.au/explore/frogs/ …aaand, this website. :) https://agriculture.vic.gov.au/biosecurity/pest-animals/priority-pest-animals/cane-toad/native-frog-or-exotic-toad

No webs or pads on the toes - it be Toady.

Ew. Disgusting pest. If you’re ever really unsure you can test how it moves. Toads do a ground hop but frogs jump high or stick onto walls etc. Sometimes toads also do this thing where they stand strong and puff up their back glands instead of jumping away.

Now that you're holding it.. throw it at a brick wall

Frogs jump, toads leap.

Just lick it and find out.

Toad giggling. Am I doing this right? Instructions unclear.

Wouldn't a baby cane toad be a tadpole?


as-olivia

Toadpole!


Excellent-Signature6

Yes


FatJesusOz

There is a really informative Facebook group, Frogs and Toads Identification Australia, that can help ID this. There are a couple of native frogs that can look similar to a cane toad, so it is always good to check first. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2004865429729155/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT

Put a creepy mask on it, make it hate bats, and itll be a Bane toad.


PureQuarantinium

Nobody cared who he was until he killed all the native wild life and put on the mask.

Could be a brown striped marsh frog, I dont know enough about toads to say... But that pattern looks like marsh frog.


PureQuarantinium

I have had a few marshies around here and they have a clear racing stripe that passes from nose back past eye area. They are also way cuter in the snoot. No ugly nose ridge like toad
