Those horrible bufo marinus toads (aka cane toads) also live in South Texas along the border, and surely all the way south through eastern Mexico, Central America, all the way to the Amazon (where they originated). There is another species, bufo alvarius (Colorado River toad), that can kill too, and they're in northern Mexico, Arizona, New Mexico, and a couple of other places. My girl got poisoned by a bufo speciosus (Texas toad) a couple of months ago and got pretty sick, but those aren't known to kill. I see the bufo speciosus all the time at sunset and sunrise in the San Antonio, Texas area during the summer, so I have Cookie on a leash always when the sun isn't out. But the one in January that Cookie got to tripped me up because it was out about noon, hiding in a really shady and cool corner between a planter and a trash can on a warm day.
