If you are seeing them at monsoon season they are more than likely Spadefoot Toads. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benbrown Report post Posted November 12, 2018 They are very common here in the Boot Heel of New Mexico. A fair number of them live on our little acreage here on the outskirts of Animas. We have lots of harvester ants around and they are a staple food of horned lizards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missedagain Report post Posted November 13, 2018 When I was a kid in Flagstaff I would see 20 a day now I'm lucky to see a couple a year. I don't know this for fact but was told that when fire ants that were native to south america got brought to AZ the horny toads eat them and they are poisonous to them which has caused the significant downfall in the horny toad population.

DUG Report post Posted November 14, 2018 One of my favorite AZ critters. Found a huge one in 23 a few years ago on a deer hunt. They blend in so good sometimes they are hard to find. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rossiranch Report post Posted November 16, 2018 We see quite a few at my house here in Prescott every summer. I’ve seen more in this country in the past few years of living here than I ever did down home near the border. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
