This toad has become a common sighting on my late night/early morning walks with my dog. Sometimes she walks right by it, but sometimes she sees it and doesn’t even know what to think of it. I’m pretty sure it’s the sameone every time I see one, but then again the Gulf Coast Toad, or Incilius nebulifer, is very common and not threatened. It’s range is along the Gulf of Mexico from Northern Mexico to Mississippi. In Texas, it can be found in the south, central, and southern parts of east Texas. It occurs in both human-altered and natural habitats.
My iNaturalist observation can be found here.
