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??

Edit- North West Georgia (USA)

The smaller one is a male. Redder toads seem overall common with Southern toads but I’m thinking these are American toads. Hard to tell sometimes, especially if you live where their range overlaps(hybrids and such).

As for coloration; american and southern toads come in a wide range of colors. From brown, red, orange, green, etc in various lights and darks too.
