here a pic can i keep him? my uncle caught him near out door and my uncle tried to save him from cats so he gave it to me as pet and i placed him in a container and he goes crazy for worms and also i mist his cage everyday and also why did he stop eating is he full? he ate 5-8 worms yesterday... and also what toad/frog?
I meant what country/state, to be more specific. There are so many different kinds of frogs and toads all over the world, it's hard to identify to an exact species without a location idea. As of right now I can't be much help from the picture.
It looks like a young Cane Toad(Bufo marinus), but could also be a Philippine Toad.
i found him in Phlippines my country and also can i keep him as pet?
oh yeah and also do they have poison?? which means i cant keep him??

I agree that it does look like a young cane toad. But I am not an expert on these guys. I know they can be found in your country though.
If someone else can confirm that it is a Cane Toad, you can check out a care sheet at this link: How to care for your new Cane/Marine Toad, Bufo marinus, with pictures, and here: Cane Toad Care sheet - The Amphibian.co.uk. Cane Toad, Marine Toad, Giant Toad, Bufo Marinus, captive care, feeding, breeding, housing and more., and on the forum here: http://www.frogforum.net/toads/2889-...caresheet.html
Yes Jerome they are toxic. All toads are. The large wort like bumps behind the eyes are called Paratoid glands and this is where their toxin is manufactured. When threatened or scared the Toad will secrete a white milky toxin out of the glands to deter predators from eating the Toad. If they eat it they die. The toxin can cause serious eye irritation and if ingested could make you very sick or worse.
They can be kept as pets, but if you're able to do so use caution and don't handle the Toad unless absolutely necessary and wash you hands before and after handleing the Toad.
