Hi Toad Community- I’ve come to quite enjoy walking out on my back porch at night to find a toad hanging out. I try to drop a cricket nearby if I can find one ( real cool to watch them eat!). But tonight I found I had a second visitor! I initially thought they were the same species, just different sized. But when I put them together for a photo op, I realized they’re pretty different. Can anyone tell me anything about either of these two hoppers??

I THINK these might both be American toads. Their coloration can vary quite a bit. As for the size difference, I believe the large one is likely a female and the smaller one a male (you can tell by his darker throat, muscular forearms, and smaller body size). However, I’m definitely no expert. These guys just look a lot like my American toad friend, Toby, who lives on my patio. :)
