Hello all,
I found this toad at my local clay quarry, and I picked it up because of the unnatural "tumor" on its skin. I have no clue what it is, but would like to ask for advice on this forum. Is there anyway to treat the toad? Will it be ok?
I am attaching pictures of the toad for convenience. If you cannot tell in the pictures, the "tumor" has a blood colored tint to it and is soft when touched. I have handled it with care, and it is currently sitting in a stand-by terrarium I filled with soil.
I would like to help it and either keep it as a pet (already have one) or release it back into the wild (preferred). I will keep it if necessary.
Any and all help/advice is appreciated! Thank you!
