This is a large cane toad caught in Boca Raton, Fl. Notice the white milky substance on it’s back. This is a toxin that can be deadly to your pets!
Cane Toads, aka Bufo Toads (Rhinella marina) are displacing native toads and pose serious health risks to pets. When feeling threatened, the toad will secrete a milky toxin from the glands on the back of its shoulders and head (see picture above). If your pet bites or licks a Cane Toad, it will become sick and could die. Symptoms of Cane Toad poisoning in pets include excessive drooling, red gums, head-shaking, crying, loss of coordination, and sometimes convulsions.
Similar to other invasive species in South Florida, there has been a significant population explosion in recent years. Cane Toads can lay clusters of 10,000 to 30,000 eggs per year! We remove these eggs while onsite before they hatch into tadpoles to get ahead of the explosion!
Above are Cane Toads (aka Bufo Toads) removed from West Palm Beach by our Boilogist.
