    Default Toad ID

    Hi all

    Can anyone tell if this is perhaps a Bufo Alvarius? It is being sold as a Lithobates catesbeianus, but I have my doubts.

    Definitely not L. catesbeianus, they don't have paratoid glands. It does look like a B. alvarius but I don't know enough about them for a definitive ID, specifically if there's anything else similar that also shows up in the pet trade.

    Brian is right, it's not an American bullfrog. From the looks of its paratoid glands and size, I am quite sure its it B. alvarius.
