    Hi Jazzy,

    It's certainly different to the Cane Toads. Do you have a photo from the side perhaps? I don't want to take a guess just yet .

    The toe-tapping is common to Bufonids and their near relatives (such as Dendrobatids). It's exactly as you guessed - a mechanism for enticing prey into range of their tongues.

    I can't resist. Looks like a Fowler's Toad (Bufo fowleri). That's just a guess though - looking for that side on shot please.
