Toad Petting

I have never, ever, evereverever thought of toads as cute. In fact, I always just felt they were slimy and gross and, well, just gross. Until today.

Who knew toads like to be petted? Just look how happy that little toady is to be getting scritches and scratches! He's just like a cat or dog, leaning in to them and loving it! It's... it's... *deep breath*... it's almost like toads are cute now.

What do you think?


Note from Cute: I have heard that some toads are poisonous, but I'm going to assume this little guy is squeaky clean. I'm also going to assume that that guy washed his finger in a giant tub of bleach and hand sanitizer after petting the toad. :)

  3. Never thought about a toad having itches. No wonder they roll around in the dirt. Take care and have a fun week end.

  4. I love toads! And yes, they are very cute ;-) They all are toxic to varying degrees, but if handled properly, not so bad as long as one washes their hands afterwards.

  6. Wow. He looks very happy to be havin' some love. It must be a personal thing with that toad because any toad I have ever touched just peed on me. :( And my frogs do NOT like anyone to touch them....ever.

    He certainly was very adorable! Not enough to kiss him though. ;)

I love their cute toad faces! this looks like a domestic toad - not so much toxic as probably secretes bad tasting stuff - tho as a previous commenter posted - always a good idea to wash hands after handling - tho a good idea after touching any wildlife!
