I'm not sure. But, I have held one, and belive me they are massive. They also make good pets :) Very easy to keep. |
Okay, that's good. Thanks! I'll read more on Cane Toads and make my decision :)
Thanks everyone for your replies!

I was just reading more about Cane Toads, I found this on one of the sites. I guess it's toxic.
I know more about frogs than toads so I wanted to read about this Cane Toad, lol...
Cane Toads are considered a pest in Australia because they:
poison pets and injure humans with their toxins
poison many native animals whose diet includes frogs, tadpoles and frogs' eggs
eat large numbers of honey bees, creating a management problem for bee-keepers
prey on native fauna
compete for food with vertebrate insectivores such as small skinks
may carry diseases that are can be transmitted to native frogs and fishes.

The biggest problem for native Oz herps lies with the amphibian eating snakes, such as Red Bellied Blacks, Tigers etc. They eat the toads and then die of poisoning! I witnessed this myself in Brisbane.
