Adult cane toads are usually very large - around 10 to 15 cm
(or 4 to 5 inches) long. If you find one over 4 cm long, you should be able to identify it from the picture on the right.

However, smaller toads can easily be confused with native frogs. To make sure you haven’t found a native frog by mistake please take all toads under 4 cm long to a frog expert for identification. Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water after handling toads or use gloves.
