what toad is this

[Pluke]

I'm sure he's gonna take a little while to get used to his new home, especially if it's a wild animal. They don't secret toxins unless severely threatened, usually when picked up by an animals teeth. I have never picked up a toad and had it secret toxin and I've handled a ton of toads, as long as you're gentle you'll see no toxins.

Since you said he ate a lot of worms already, I'm betting that he's full and getting used to his new home so probably won't eat for a little while, just give him some time to settle in. Toads like hiding places, so if you can give him something to hide in or under, it'd make him much more comfortable and he'll settle better.

Edit: Since he's a wild caught toad you can probably use stuff from outside, like pieces of wood, moss, stuff like that. If you can get some clean soil, you could use that as a substrate and he might burrow into it a little bit. I've seen clay pots broken in half used as cool little toad huts, too. Just to give you some ideas.

To me, this looks like a Cane Toad (Bufo marinus). They are a species of true toad. This species is native to Central America. However, they have been introduced to many parts of the world. They are plentiful throughout most parts of Oceania. I also know of some islands in the Carribean that have Cane Toads. They are a member of the subgenus Rhinella. Their genus is Bufo. That means they are a species of true toad. Females lay single-clump spawns. They can have thousands of eggs per batch. They will consume living and dead animal matter, which is unusual among anurans.

can i offer him mealworms on the moment till i get some dubias?? he also ate ants he pounced on them crawling in their enclosure and swallowed them 1 by 1??

I wonder if urine is classified as a toxin... if so, I had toxin secreted all over me several times when growing up

I'm not too up on the toads, but it does look like a very young Cane Toad. Many people do keep these as pets, but be prepared because these things grow HUGE. Also as it's a wild caught animal instead of captive bred, so make sure you keep stress to a minimum while it's adjusting to captivity.

thnx for your answers i know why he cant eat crickets it's too big for him i give him tiny mealworms and small milipedes or maybe cockroach if i can catch one and also he was eating already using his tongue or mouth but he only wants to be fed once in an hour i think he's still getting use to it??oh and also would milipede be safe???and also he's pretty cool watching him eat he pooped and shed its skin and jumps like crazy around his terrarium at noons he also ate a cricket i saw a carcass hidden in the caves...

he also ate a cricket i saw a carcass hidden in the caves...

If it ate a cricket there should be no evidence. You may or may not find a few undigested bits of cricket (like wings) in the feces, but toads swallow food whole.

I'd probably avoid feeding millipedes as they appear to have a high chitin to meat ratio, but I don't really know anything about their nutritional value.

[GrifTheGreat]

I agree with Brian. No Millipedes. I also am sure that some Millipedes have secretions like Shieldbugs do. Not very tasty.

Also like Colleen said above. Cane Toads get massive. Next to the Colorado River Toad I believe they're one of the largest if not THE largest toad. Reaching about 9 inches Snout to Vent.
