Common Indian Toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus)

During the rainy season Khon Kaen and probably most of Thailand and beyond becomes inundated with big bulky toads, known as the Common Indian Toad or the scientific name, Duttaphrynus melanostictus. They are great for keeping down the number of bugs and cockroaches (this one used to sit and stare at the drains waiting for baby cockroaches to appear). They won't do you any harm unless you eat them. However, check your boots from time to time. They love to make home in them. I have a photo of one appearing from my boot that it lived in for the whole rainy season. Will post when I find it again.
