Can anyone ID this toad?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I found this while weeding the other day. It was hiding behind a pot by my front garden and it scared the crap out of me since I was right beside it when it moved.

Anyone know what it is? At first I thought it was a cane toad, but it doesn't exactly look like the pictures I found.

What's wrong with cane toads? Are they harmful? :confused:

Introduced pest with poison sacks behind the head ie kills other animals up the food chain including dogs. The poison can affect you if t comes in contact with skin (spades not such a good idea).

Golf club under the chin is a good idea.:)

They are a little poisonous, but mostly they're just an unwanted pest with no useful purpose.
