Is this a juvenile cane toad?

[Bradchip]

I came across this little guy at Peaks Crossing last night when the storm was about. I THINK it's a juvenile Bufo marinus, but not totally sure. He's about 2 to 2.5cm long.

I'm lead to believe that as juveniles, they don't particularly resemble the parents (until they hit the 4cm mark), and funnily enough, I can't find any decent juvenile canetoad shots online to compare it, and can't see anything that's really similar on Frogs of Australia > Queensland > The frogs of Queensland (unless I overlooked it).

Thanks in advance!

No thats not a toad.

It's a frog..- I am not an Australian frog person so don't know what type- sorry

Could possibly be an Ornate burrowing frog.

Definitely not a cane toad.

It is indeed Opisthodan ornatus

hahaha... Thanks Thals

I have a bit of a secret for snapping critters at night. I think anyone with a DSLR and a macro lens (that does regular macro shooting) should make one of these. Works a treat.

That little froggy was only about 2cm's long.
