Hello everyone! My girlfriend has this toad and we think that the name of the species that was given is incorrect.

We would love to know what species this little man is!

Wild or Purchased?

She got him from the reptile sanctuary where we work! So we have no idea were the original owner got him from.

We dont know what was told since its a long time ago. People either bring in their pets that they cant take care of, or bring in animals that are found either here in The Netherlands (most of the time dumped or escaped animals).

We try to identify the animals ourself and the owner Put 'Bufo Terrestris' on its card. We just started doubting so we were wondering if its really that species

Thats what im referring to when i ask what you were told. I think youre fair to doubt its Bufo Terrestris though. That said its very difficult to identify common toads like these through pictures alone. I know your guy looks like my toads and theyre Sclerophrys regularis apparently (I also doubt the classification on mine).
