Identification help, if possible!

Hello and welcome to FF ! To ID need closer pics of toad from above and a close up of head from side. In the meantime; here is a good care article for them: Frog Forum - Toad Basics - Keeping ground-dwelling Toads. A care sheet for Bufo, Anaxyrus, Spea, Scaphiopus, Ollotis, Alytes, Pelobates. Also, frogs and toads ventral skin is very absorbent. Recommend wash hands well and rinse with dechlorinated water before handling or wear disposable gloves and not put toad on any surface exposed to cleaners or any chemicals .

Thank you Carlos & Eli, I had considered gulf toad as a possibility, and I will get some close up pictures from above and from the side. No need to worry about handling and care though, I used to keep rough skinned newts that I found in my backyard, and where I work in Peru we keep 50+ species of frog and around 20 species of toad as part of our project

Again, thanks for replying so quickly, and I'll have the close ups soon.

Okay, I got a few more pictures. He doesn't sit still for long and my camera's macro lens hasn't arrived yet, so it is difficult to take good pictures.

I love these little guys! When I lived up near the Dallas area I had a creek that ran behind my house. Every childhood memory I have in that house involves these guys, (and the bullfrog no one could ever catch). I do not know what they are called either. My grandfather used to call them wood frogs, (because they lived in the woods by creeks.) I now know it is certainly not a wood frog, but they are cute and teeny tiny creatures.
