The frog's poison glands serve as a defense mechanism against predators. These glands produce toxic substances that can deter or harm potential threats, helping the frog to survive in its environment. The toxins can vary in potency and type, depending on the frog species, and may also have antifungal or antibacterial properties, further protecting the frog from infections.

Which glands lubricate the frogs skin?
Frogs have mucous glands in their skin that secrete mucus, which helps to keep their skin moist and lubricated. This is vital for their respiration, as frogs absorb oxygen through their skin, and it also aids in preventing dehydration. Additionally, some frogs have poison glands that can secrete toxins as a defense mechanism. The combination of these glands plays a crucial role in the frog's survival in its environment.
Do some frogs have poison in their skin?
Yes. Frogs (and toads) have mucous glands all over their skin to help keep their skin lubricated. If frogs do not keep their skin moist they will dry out and die. In some species, such as the poison dart frogs, the secretions from these glands are highly toxic. All frogs and toads have a degree of these poisons, even if it is only in retrace amounts, but in some species the concentration of toxins is much greater, providing an effective defence mechanism. The mucous glands in frogs' and toads' skin is different from the parotid glands which some species of toads have just behind their eyes, which contain irritants and other toxins to deter predators.
