Help with ID, please

[Kurt]

Without checking out the books, it looks like Anaxyrus americanus to me.

I was thinking some kind of toad, too, but the skin looks really smooth and that was throwing me off.

Lol-I guess he or she wanted to be the center of attention!

Looks like an American toad, Bufo americanus americanus. Though I just found out this name changed to Anaxyrus americanus when I searched for what Kurt called it.

Thanks for the help. I think the small size, dark colour and fairly smooth-looking skin put me off.
