True Toads

Bufonidae is a family of frogs known as Toads.  Toads can generally be identified by the bumpy or warty appearance on their skin.  They also have a pair of glands on the back of their heads that contain poison.  The poison in the glands is released when the toad is stressed.

Look closely at his head and behind each of his eyes, you can clearly see each of these poison glands.  This photo was taken after my little friend was rescued from the swimming pool well.
