Identification.
These large toads can easily be identified by their enormous paratoid glands which extend part way down the side of the body. They usually are some shade of medium to dark brown with various amounts of light and/or dark speckling. The cranial crests are well developed.
Habitat.
This species was found in heavily disturbed habitats around buildings and on and around roads. We did not observe this species in secondary or primary forest.
