I found this guy at an old shop and he was just in a tank no substrate no light no water he looked sick but now hes fine
very vicious eater
He looks to be either an American or Fowler's toad. A clear pic of the head near his poison glands would help in identifying him. Their care is all but identical save for fowlers are a bit smaller and like it just a touch dryer
The Frog chooses its owner. Treat your life-long friend with respect and care and it will never disappoint!

Looks more like an American Toad. Good job on rescuing him.

What a cutie!! I would have to say American also. Your location would help alot also in determining which kinda toad it is. But for now we will call it a lucky one.

his original owner had died and the shop was closed and the elderly lady was scared of him
Either American or Fowlers. Crest is to small for Southern and markings do not look like an Oak. A clear photo of back and head showing crest and glands would help with positive ID.

Looks to me like the cranial crests are touching the paratoid glands. I do believe that suggests it is a Fowler's toad.
"Look on the wall behind you. Look at that little girl's face. I know you've seen it. But you know what she's never going to be able to see? She's never going to be able to see the simple wonder of a leaf in her hand. Because there's not going to be any trees. Now you think about that."
