American toad coloration question

[Larry Wardog]

I mean anything is possible. All I know is that there have not been any reports of the dwarfs in my part of the country and the American toads that live by me are capable of growing 5 inches long and as round as a baseball . So maybe it is just a color morph thing kinda like finding an albino animal But thanks for your reply anyhow! if I see another one I will try to get photo for better reference

I have never seen an American Toad reach 5 inches you should get a picture of one if you can. Also I've never heard of a Hudson Bay toad. Maybe it's just a color morph for that specific region.

Ive only seen large female toads grow to 3-5 inches which makes sense as the females are larger than males .Hudson Bay toads (anaxyrus americanus copei) are a subspecies of American toad that can be found in the northern parts of several provinces in Canada. They are not usually found in my area as I don't live way up north but there have been reports of toads not too far from where I live with their distinct patterns. It is very likely that as you stated that the toad that I witnessed was just a specific colour morph of eastern American toad for the area I was in as I have notice that different areas of my region have eastern American toads with different distinct patterns from toads of another area. I can post pictures if I see anymore with interesting patterns .
