I had one toad on a post outside my front door and now there are three. They cuddle next to each other and seem to prefer to stay in one place. Sometimes I still see only one but the other two naturally reappear. The first toad isnt afraid of me getting close others back away. They seem content to stay the whole summer outside my door. They're actually kinda cute
Is a toad a dangerous thing to touch?
It's not dangerous at all, because they don't exist. Well, not the licking type anyway. This rumor is based on the fact that the Bufo alvarius, otherwise known as the Colorado River Toad, contains the psychedelic, 5-methoxy-Dimethyltryptamine, which is indeed a very strong psychedelic, but happens to be completely inactive if taken orally. To feel the effect, it must be smoked or injected; thus, you can smoke the Bufo alvarius' venom and get quite the trip, but licking it will just taste icky. Since most toads are toxic, licking any toad is dangerous, even the non-poisonous ones, since they may be bacterial breeding grounds for salmonella, or something similar to that.
Actually, you probably can lick the Bufo alvariusand get high if you've ingested an MAOI, because they make 5-MeO-DMT, and N,N-DMTs in general, orally active. However, I'm not 100% sure that simply licking a Bufo alvarius would cause you to ingest enough; usually you would harvest the venom from several glands before taking it.
You can lick a Cane Toad (Bufo marinus), and have psychedelic effects. Is it dangerous? Sure. But, aren't all drugs somewhat dangerous? The cane toad contains a unique toxin that is not, in the strictest sense, a psychedelic drug. However, one of the chemicals within the cane toad's toxin, bufotenin, or 5-HO-DMT, has been shown to produce psychedelic effects in humans.

What impact do cane toads have on Quolls?
Cane toads have had a major impact on quoll populations in Queensland and the Northern Territory. Quolls are carnivores, and feed on birds, reptiles, arthropods and mammals up to the size of a possum. Habitat loss has resulted in fewer of these species and thus a reduced food source for the quolls, so they have resorted to eating cane toads. Spotted-tail and Northern Quolls are both being killed off as a result of eating the Cane Toad, which is poisonous.
Tadpoles do not drink water at all, like we do. Their skin automatically lets the water in.
Both frogs and toads can come in a range of colors, but "Frog green/Toad brown" is a pretty good rule of thumb, yes.
