Hi! Welcome to the forum. I know what you mean about the appeal of the Cane Toad, I wish I could get one myself. The venom of the Cane Toad is potent, but dob't let that dissuade you from owning one, as it is really only harmful if ingested. They are illegal in some lacations due to the Cane Toad's potential and track record as an invasive species, but i personally admire the tenacity and adaptability of the Cane Toad. That being said, I do own a growing male Pixie Frog, and he is an absolute treat, a very large frog with an appetite to match. One cool thing about Pixie frogs is they have odontoid projections, which are like teeth. Pixies, and to a lesser degree pacman frogs can bite and draw blood. This can be a plus, like it is to me, but some may see it as a detractor. Cane toads can also be bought for cheap, as low as 10$ on some sites(last time I checked.) It may also be worthwhile to look at your local Toad Species. I have Woodhouse's Toads, a US native, and they are amazing active toads. Good luck picking a new pet!
Edit: Forgot to mention, Cane Toad venom may also cause skin irritation, but in general frogs aren't really pets that you touch a lot, and many people recommend disposable gloves(non-powdered) for handling in general, so it's not a huge concern.
