what toad is this

[Murray of the Deep]

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.

hey grif i changed his cage from a little pet carrier to a 20 gallon tank all by itself and placed water dish and rocks and wet towel as substrate and a food dish with worms and why is it that he keeps jumping like wanting to escape out of its cage??? and also why isnt he eating his cricket and not minding its worms anymore??? he just keeps jumping all over the 20 gallon tank?? is he still adapting and exploring is this normal? he didnt secret any toxin when i place him is this normal??? or should i try to feed it the next day? he already ate 5 mealworms and 3 earthworms is he full or getting new to its habitat?
