Is this a toad?

Thanks so much for the info! It's good to finally put a name to him, so to speak. Wish I coulda kept him but I didn't have a tank for him that he would've been comfy in. And that wouldn't have been fair to him.

In my experience you can find these guys quite easily on warm humid nights in summer on the roads. I've seen them on north Georgia roads in those conditions, maybe 10-20 in a night if there's been a recent rain.

Or you can lay a board out in your yard, and on hot days, you will find them hunkered down under there! Cool evenings, walk around with a flashlight, you'll be surprised how many you find. I was looking for tree frogs one night, and sitting right on a 2x4 in front of me was a giant fat toad, I found many more that night, no tree frogs though!

Amy- I figured he ate tons, lol. Another good reason to set him free.
John- next time it rains. I'll take my kids out there they would love looking for them.
nicodimis22- I love the name Jabba for a toad- how fitting!
