Hey poop experts!

I have researched this poop and have narrowed it down to 2 species. I find this poop daily. On top of the ground, never buried. It does not smell disgusting like cat or dog poop. There is nothing in it but feces. If I leave a habitat uncovered I find 1 turd in it. If all habitats are covered I might find a turd just laying on the grass or deck. It does not smell bad at all. It is black. I do find one every morning. Sometimes it's in a plant pot on my deck. I generally find it between 7 and 8 am and it's warm then...any guesses? All the pictures are the same turd, I just squashed it and moved it around...well? What do you think? It's not cat or dog, does not smell bad, and is relatively soft...IMG_2672.JPG IMG_2675.JPG IMG_2677.JPG

Maybe racoon? They normally poop on the roofs though.. Could it be opossom? We see them regularly in summer here.

Close, I have coons in my yard nightly but normally they poop at the base of the tree they live in. So 'coons were one species, but I'm 95% sure they are .....

And the prize goes to my sister, the poop expert!!! I have always known she was 'full of it', but this time she's surprised even me. I have never seen the toad, but in researching the stuff, every toad poop I saw matches this, so I am 95% sure it's a toad...
So watch your mailbox Yvonne, for the 1st place prize. It will come in a small box.......:p
