Sonoran Desert Toad 
 Incilius alvarius
This species’ skin toxins are strong enough to kill a dog and reportedly have hallucinogenic qualities.
(so as my daughter says, never lick a toad )

When I was in AZ we hoped to see a big one of these toads. Only saw small ones, still they were bigger than our eastern toads.

HI Randy,
We drove down a deserted road at night, which as you know most of the roads there are deserted at night, and we saw 5 or 6 of these. I was amazed at the size . This one was bigger than my hand.
