I bought these as bufo asper, I just want to make sure that is really what they are.






Any help would be appreciated

Ditto, they are not asper.

Thanks guys, That's actually quite a relief. I could only imagine trying to keep up with housing 5 aspers

I concur with Kurt. They have the characteristic "mascara-line" above the eye. Most likely females since they lack the brick-red coloration that the males often have.

1 of them are the mud brown color, There is one that is distinctly red, but currently smaller than the rest.

I can hope to get some breedign out of them, but I'm just happy to have a healthy group that made the road trip from LA to Reno, NV

I have a male toad, it is a brilliant brick-red color. I hope you do hve a pair. These toads are not difficult to keep and could get quite large.
