Yesterday I went out to prep the cinderblocks enclosing tort garden for planting, threw shovelful of dirt to start filling the hollow space out, and something jumps out of the hole, almost in my face! I'm startled but quickly notice froggy shape. Name him Prince William and leave his cinderblock hollow. He stayed there the whole time I was working. Probably thinking he was invisibleImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1466348084.150828.jpg. I've seen one on my front steps as well. That one lives in my flower pots. Not sure what kind of froggy he is but they are both most welcome in my garden:)

Wonder what kind that is? All we have in our yard is the Canadian Toad.

I am quite happy to have them! But they are not as cute as yours!

This is one of my many cane toads. This fellow keeps showing up in my pen. I toss him over the fence and within 48 hours, he's back.
These are toxic. You may not want to kiss them.

Hey Ed, I think my Prince William maybe that toxic toad... He wasn't there today, but I saw the other one on my front steps. That one is too quick for me to take a good look. Toxic or not, I don't mind frogs, toads, bats, birds, lizards, they all eat bugs. If William is indeed that cane toad, do you think I should worry about leaving the babies alone there for any period of time during a day?

No. He'll be of no harm.
I just don't like them hanging out and crapping in my watering pools.
I don't kill them. I just let them loose far away. It has to be REALLY far away or they come right back. I still don't know how he keeps getting in.
It's the same guy with the same scrapes.
