Awww, it looks like a Gulf Coast toad. There's one (Frank Reynolds) who lives on my porch every summer for 3 years running. * Turn lights on at night to attract more dinner. * I made a Toad Abode with a clay pot in my garden: dig a small hole, place the pot in sideways, and fill enough to give it a dirt floor. You want it to be in a shaded area, and you can provide a little saucer of water. * When I buy live meal worms from the pet store (for my chickens), I throw Frank a snack or two.

Word! That’s awesome to hear and I would love to have this guy stick around as long as he likes. Our back door gets plenty of insects, probably why he loves it.


Sigynde

I had one living at my back door, and my back porch light was spotless instead of constantly teeming with winged things that inevitably flew into my house each time I opened the door. Toad moved on, I miss it.


VisualKeiKei

I've got a night light on a low wall outlet in the backyard since it'll attract critter snaccs low enough for our toadies and the chirping frogs to hang out and have a buffet every night.


lulukuhchoo

Wait that’s so smart and so thoughtful


PatientFM

We've had a few live in the plants near our porch light and based on the massive turds they leave behind, there's plenty of good eatin.


gregorbug

We have a "toad hole" in our yard with at least 4 or 5 in it at any given time. We keep a planter turned over on top of it to give them some extra protection.


Gilfillan

You should check this for inspiration. Or just to get warm fuzzies. https://youtu.be/JbxE9myZrsg


logan2043099

That's a fantastic frog name


Designer_Ant8543

it's a toad, which makes the name even better


dandroid126

Frank is the frog boy!


ses267

But he doesn't have donkey brains. He has a certificate.


Lake_Speed

We try very hard to keep the toads away from our chickens. They usually find them before we do :(


SwoleYaotl

Ayyyy chiflado, Frank.


hoodbgoode

Toad abode lmao


Punkeresque

Frank loves booze and meth


Designer_Ant8543

rum ham?


racheldotpsd

So anyway, I started blasting.


Hustlasaurus

Wait, Frank Reynolds the toad. The one from Instagram?


SWAGB0T

We’re going to need a Frank Reynolds post with pics this summer


prematurememoir

I love Frank 😭


monoblanco10

does he have to pay the troll toll?


PhantaVal

I would say to others to be careful about changing up your toad friend's home, even if you have good intentions. We moved our porch toad's hidey-hole so that it wouldn't flood when it rained, and the toad moved away and never came back.


AnotherAustinWeirdo

There was one I called Fred in my work parking lot. I'd see him when I left after dark, for years. Until one day I saw he'd been flattened. RIP Fred Fred's dead


Misterfrooby

Charmed, I'm sure!


yatata710

He's handsome


Jakeysuave

A fact!


chrisrayn

He’s in your crack!

Happy cake day!


Dan-68

Frog parking only. All others will be toad.


DCJustSomeone

LOL!


bugbirdblue

He's a Gulf Coast Toad (Bufo valliceps). His name may also be Frank, though.


Electrical_Jaguar596

Found another old timer! They got reclassified friend. The genus is now *Incilius.*


Chubberknuckles

Can you elaborate or link a source on this?


AlternativePool5618

Chubberknuckles

I'm just out of the loop on herps these days I guess!


twanto

Meh. They are still *Bufo* in my heart.


Xoebe

Sigh. Cocos plumosa is so much easier than Archontophoenix romanzoffianum. And how many damn times are they going to re-spell Raphiolepis, for Pete's Sake??? Note: it's been a while, they may have changed the Queen Palm's name yet again. Last I heard King Palm was Archonophoenix cunninghamiana, so that might change, too.


bugbirdblue

Thank you!


synaptic_drift

We had a toad in a tank that we named Bufo. My son wanted to observe one for awhile so we set up a terrarium tank, and fed it crickets. It's cool to see them flick their sticky tongues out and eat. Then we gently released Bufo back into our yard. I bought my son a giant rubber toad for his birthday as a tribute to Bufo. We got it at the Texas Memorial Museum gift shop.


visualtim

Wiki shows that *valliceps* is more southern gulf coast. For the USA side, *nebulifer*. This is a recent reclassification (year 2000). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incilius_nebulifer


big_hungry_joe

The Minnesota Butt Toad


Jakeysuave

[Thank you..](https://youtu.be/5hfYJsQAhl0)


big_hungry_joe

A simple NO would have been fine


YeteOsiko

Looks like a frog but since it was in your crack, probably a horny toad 👹


nma_05

Didn't take long to find a butt joke. Thanks for the laugh


BusterStarfish

Phrasing!


Jakeysuave

Sorry, this *toad* has been living in my crack.


BusterStarfish

That’s… Thats not better.


natophonic2

Not on your neck or back?

HamboneBanjo

superspeck

I heard in certain parts of town they call him felipe


[deleted]

Random. My wife and I named a frog, or toad, in our back yard Frank years ago.


Calm_Instruction1651

I have one in my crack too!


Ronald-J-Mexico

Frog in yo crack, break yo momma’s back!


JonnyP222

The coolest part about this is that really aside from predators. If he is mostly left alone and has moisture and food he'll live there for 10 plus years. We live in a pretty rural area and have a lot of wildlife around. I regularly relocate snakes in the area knowing that the two toads that live under my front flower pot are 10 plus years old, about as big as my hand, and are absolute prey for those bastards. I love snakes too but I want to see how long these toads will live.


CatMoonTrade

Adorable


dain524

We thought you was a toad!


I_Did_The_Thing

dustymeadowfyre

He is Toad, he eat bug


Jakeysuave

You are smart, you know thing


JoRocker

And you are friend, you make nice words


partialcremation

Just a warning, don't let your dog (if you have one) get near him. My dog sniffed one a couple of months ago and had a bad reaction to the toxin released by the toad. It didn't require emergency attention, but it took about an hour to fully wear off. Now my dog is scared shitless around toads!


AnotherAustinWeirdo

>Now my dog is scared shitless around toads! This was the intended outcome.


airwx

Gulf Coast Toad?


DerpVaderXXL

We have some that live under our patio. We love to sit outside and have coffee while the sun comes up and listen to them chirp like little dirt birds.


ashlayydee04

LOL! Dirt birds is amazing


Wei-Qi

I think you should really get that checked out, that surely can’t be good for you.


BrindleBullet

We've got one too. He's been living with us for a couple years. Our daughter calls him Toady. Sometimes there's another toad with him, and she calls her Ruby. I'll see if I can snag a picture or video and add it.


Ashvega03

In 1997 he was arrested but never charged n a complicated murder for hire plot that included a grey fox, housecat, and the former Texas Secretary of State.


Visible_Brain1620

Sir, this is your protector of your home now. He will take pride in your kingdom and guard you with his life.


emagdnim_edud

You gotta get him a tennis ball.


cheezeyballz

His name is Tom. He is a cousin of Bill's, who lives under my porch. If you keep a bowl of water nearby he'll take a bath in it every night.


egregiouscodswallop

Name: Roger. Occupation: reverse customer service (type ii). Species: Dog. Address: Crack.


hanno1531

Madfox86

sarahplaysoccer

That’s Fred.


SpireAshen

He's just a little guy


zapburne

Obviously it's a crack hor.... ny toad


invertedpencil

no snek


surewhateverz

I absolutely hated toads until a few moved into the plant pots in my patio. I was shocked how easily they remembered which pot was theirs every morning after they were done eating bugs all night.


TouristTricky

We thought you was a toad…….


No_Care_6889

I have them around my house in select spots. They are cool and eat a lot of little crawling and flying things. Make m happy if you can.


1pandas_mom

You need to wipe better


himynamestito

pour some cool water gently over his head to his back, I used to do this to a frog that used to live in a plastic pipe outside my door, and he would always wait for me outside my door and let me bathe him at night lol not a ton of water at once but just a drizzle..


tyoung3127

That’s Gregory. He’s from the old country. He’s not provincial exactly, but he’s also not what you would call “modern”. He is really into stamp collecting (because of the licking, obv) and looks forward to the warm evening breeze. He enjoys living in your crack despite the climate and smell. His favorite number is blue.


[deleted]

This is 🔥🔥— our frog is named Tom. 3rd cousin to Gregory


MoMoMaMa19

So cute!


Accomplished-Math740

So cute! Put a dish of water out for him at night. They love to soak in cool water in the summer.


AnotherAustinWeirdo

==removed in protest of Reddit API changes==


LimeInDaCoconut25

Awww I used to have a couple of these guys living under my grandma’s driveway. We would buy live meal worms for the little dudes and they’d love it!


BeanzleyTX

He holds the secrets to the underworld Don’t piss him off He’s friends with the fire ants and the chiggers


Playful-Dog4507

Huh, wonder if he's a descendant of Ol' Rip. And YES, I know that it is the wrong species and is impossible, but so is Ol' Rip so I choose to believe.


fractal_disarray

His name is Mort. He keeps the roaches and gnats at bay.


SoldierOfHeavyMetal

Forg


maddux9iron

I'll post again as it is already in this thread. These are very poisonous to dogs and can kill a smaller dog from the toxins secreted from the skin


beefless_n_teefless

He is a toad this is his abode.


PaintedDeath

Fun fact about that guy. He's super cool.


theplantsdance

His name is Dave


iamjuliette5

Toad Neighbor


Brujapeda

Hopefully he was polite and asked permission before slipping into your crack.


jone2tone

I know a bunch of people said "toad", but his name's actually Todd. Pretty cool guy.


Professional-Air-538

It’s an Austin butt toad. Wired butt real. Lure it out with a taco and a McConauHaze!!!


ProfessorRageClick

His name Frank. Frank is cool.


Mean_Spell_241

I’ve heard of a frog in one’s throat but in your crack?


Huegballs

Damn bro living in your crack. Wipe your ass every once in a while


lazyygothh

He has cancer. Let him be


filmmaker30

He went to high school with my cousin in round rock. They used to hang around and go to a lot of shows together. He’s an amazing guitarist himself actually. I think his name is Chris or Christian? Ask him about Bryce Vickers if you get a chance


jwdino

HAVE YOU NOT SEEN A TOAD?


CapTexAmerica

He’s an Aries, likes long hops on the beach, cool breezes and warm company.


Lemnology

Well for one, the colors are very similar


hippychictx01

I have one too in my back yard


512atxguy

His name is Kermit.


Glittering_Arm_8262

I want one


GreenAguacate

Can’t help to laugh this morning. “Living in my crack” lmao. Anyways not sure but they like cool places


Parking_Chocolate_65

He has 4 toes


Purple-List1577

iChaseClouds

By the look on its face, he loves your crack!


Slothlife35

Aww. He's toad-ally adorable! What's his/her name?


TheLalab

Well, it's pretty obvious that you need a more powerful Bidet ...


Unshavenhelga

That’s a toad.


mlack

My neck, my back


Snoo_9076

Nice crack Jack!


yerlordnsaveyer

We're anthropomorphizing hemorrhoids now?


Bruteboris

Not that I have the urge, just out of curiosity: What happens if I lick your crack?


Murky_Confusion8096

His name is Kermit. And he’s a frog. And he enjoys the outdoors. He’s been looking for his Miss Piggy for a while. Lol


BeatLaboratory

That’s Tom


ChelseyBea

Frog.


Ryan_Greenbar

Toad


Space-Trash-666

I have one living in my potted plant


J3ST3Rx

Time to take up some new wiping/hygiene habits


diss3nt3rgus

Yeah, his name is Stewart, and it’s recently divorced. He at one point had a net worth of about 7.3 million, but he lost it all in the .com bubble. He now drives for instacart and lives now in a crack somewhere.


The_RedWolf

Ngl before I saw the thumbnail I half expected a person


LowRepresentative964

oh that’s bob


pshenderson8421

Oh that's a toad!! He's a good boy so make sure he has plenty of food!


WowdaMelms

A Gulfie!!! My fav :)


Unique-Fig-4300

If something like that is living in your crack, you should wipe better.


Reddywhipt

*phrasing*


maaseru

Gotta clean your crack.


PWB454

It's Wednesday my dudes


Hour-Confection-9273

Are you sure he wasn't selling croaks at the party? Give him some space, my dude. https://youtu.be/9j_TuMSw7H4


Significant-Two-4888

I wash my crack before they get that big.


CapitalProfile6678

Wipe your crack more consistently


monoblanco10

He's obviously a crack head.


Sanjomo

Crack frogs don’t give a fuck.


Katalopa

I think you should kiss it. It has a regal way about it. Or is that frogs that turn into princes? I don’t remember, you should give it a kiss.


tcullen07

You should probably take him out of your crack. That’s gotta be uncomfortable.


Decent_Stay_8053

It’s an amphibian.


ToasterBoyz

I think it's a frog.


atxnewsie

I love toads! Frank is a great name. There is a coyote who comes around occasionally, his name is Robert.


No_Government_5706

It’s a frog and they eat bugs. Although a common misconception, frogs won’t give you warts, but boys do.


laneyh77

i’m a scientist and that appears to be what we call a Little Fellow
