    Default Frog/toad I.D. please.

    When I went out to the lake, I almost stepped on this little frog. I scooped it up and stuck it in with some other frogs that were caught and when I went back to check on all of them realized that this one was definitely NOT like the others. I removed it and put it in a separate container to be photographed. The pics are not the best because it is very small, but it has interesting markings and the tips of all toes are yellow.

    It looks like a common baby toad.

    I was leaning towards toad, myself, but except for Fire Belly toads, I have never seen an actual toad. Not a native one, anyway. I've always wanted a toad....

    I am looking in my frogs and toads of North America book trying to narrow it down. Could it be a Western Toad?? Common toad just sounds so boring...and my pets are anything but common!!

    Never heard of that, but I really suck at the scientific names. Give me a second to look it up....

    It doesn't look like the pics I found on the Net....but I know very little about different types of toads so I will rule nothing out!

    Debilis is not found in Canada.

    I was leaning towards the western toad myself.

    I'm not the greatest on west coast US amphibians, but it does look like a Bufonid.

    It definitely has a toad face. I am going to just go with Western Toad (from what I have read, that is a very diverse group of toads, so I am sure it will fit right in!). I am hoping once it gets bigger maybe a better or definitive I.D. can be made. I'm just happy it's a toad and appears to be healthy....

    Yes, your identification is correct. It is a boreal/western toad. I believe that is the only toad species in BC(other than spadefoots which I don't count because they aren't bufo's and look as much like a frog as a toad) .

    Thanks, Seth. I came to that conclusion myself. Now, just got to get it bigger-baby fingernail size is way to small for my comfort level. And to get him into the proper setup. And a name. The list never ends!
