Bufo bufo or Bufo viridis

[Flying Dutchman]

I found two toads in my garden pond. They are still small and I can't tell if they are bufo or viridis.

I need your help to identify them! B. bufo or B. viridis?


Thanks in advance!

Here is one of them:

I just looked up some pictures of both species, and I'm almost sure it's the common toad, B. bufo. The green one doesn't live here in the wild....

It might be a common toad. In the pictures its face is looking somewhat nasty. Has it been rubbing it against the glass, screen top (if any), or anything in the aquarium? Also what is the stuff its sitting in?

The toad came from my garden pond. It's nose is a bit wet, maybe that's the reason why it look "nasty". Just looked at them and there is nothing wrong with there faces.
The stuff they are (actually where) on is sphagnum.

Oh. Well at least they are okay. I was just asking because the nose in the picture is red.

Looks like a common toad very nice red teint it's got!

I like their color too. I'm keeping them inside now because there are a lot of cats and birds now in my garden. I think I'm going to buy them a big tank.

Send with smoke signals from my back yard
