A Southeast Asian Toad, which is also known as Common Asian Toad, spotted in a lotus pond in Bangkok. Above, it is generally buff to brown in colour, though there is considerable colour variation and some species are darker or have brownish patterning on the back.

The underside is of a much lighter colour, almost white, and the feet are not webbed.

VENOMOUS! This amphibian's skin secretes batrachotoxin, an extremely potent cardio- and neurotoxic steroidal alkaloid. It is very poisonous and deadly if ingested or enters the bloodstream! Ingestion may cause repeated vomiting, abdominal pain, and sometimes diarrhoea and/or collapse. There is potentially significant fluid loss from the gut. In about an hour, the cardiotoxic effects of the bufotoxins will become apparent, with fast or slow pulse, low blood pressure, then heart arrhythmias, which can be associated with high circulating potassium levels. Death may rapidly ensue. All cases should be treated as urgent and potentially lethal. There is no known antidote!
