Kill it...but make sure it is a cane toad first.

Yes, first make 100% sure it is a cane toad, many people think the first large ugley brown frog they see is a cane toad, then if it is hand it in to FATS or one of it's members to dispose of... Sometimes Toads come down in timber and such goods that are trucked down from Qld ect...

I have found that most Cane Toad sightings in the Sydney area turn out to be Banjo Frogs

One thing you can do to determine if its a Cane toad,lick the skin,if you have no affects,then it wasnt a cane toad,if it was,seek medical advice.......MARK

So any news on our cane toad ? You know you guys are welcome in keeping it ,we banana benders have plenty to spare

 

[benashki]

not sure of its size.,, im heading to mums soon to check it out . i will get pics

 

[MrGoodspeed]

a lot of people get U. Fusca mixed up with baby cane toads, they do look very similar. will be curious as to if it is a toad or not. if it is probably came down in banana box or brought back by some people and let go

I highly doubt they would survive the cold conditions of the Australian alps, they seem to be always spreading west along the top end, but they are not commonly found down south, I do not think they are gonna spread further south then they have, they have been found for years at port maquarie, but go an hour south and you will not see them at all, I don't think they can handle the winters down here, so they are not really spreading much like they do up north.
