Need Advice I have a huge toad and slug living in my front yard

Look at it from the toad's point of view.

There you are, sitting in some nice wet mulch, minding your own business and suddenly you are uncovered and chased by a creature 70 times your height and 300-400 times your weight.

For a human that would be like you were surprised by a monster that would be 350-400 feet tall and weighing about 55,000 pounds chasing you.

Would YOU stay around?:scaredeyes::scaredeyes::scaredeyes::scaredeyes:

 

dont pick him up. he will pee on you
or atleast dont raise him above a foot or so that seems to be the trigger

 

Interesting, I wonder if the height does have an influence on the reaction of toads?

Does being lifted about 10 times it's height really scare the....uh... trigger a defensive reaction?
