I had a few toads similar to that - brought home tadpoles, raised em up for a year, returned them.
Here are pics of my current frog families (3 White's Tree Frogs, 7 Painted Mantella) and an old pic of those toads.

Here's Sally Mander, the most charismatic salamander ever (tiger salamander). If Sally sees you, she comes forward. If you do not promptly respond by feeding her, she makes herself progressively more obvious, until she is standing on her hind legs, front legs braced on the glass, doing everything body language can to say "Don't forget the salamander!"
And Xeno, African clawed frog. Not overwhelmingly exciting, but we've had him six years now.
I've never gotten around to photographing the newts.

I tried my hand at raising axolotls from eggs, but my house is just too warm for them and they didnt survive
My husband (the newt man) has had them; he says they're biters. (I was really tempted the last time I saw them in the pet store; they're really cute when they're little.
Last time I check toads weren't amphibians, frogs are.
Last time I checked toads were amphibians:
Amphibians (class Amphibia), such as frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians, are ectothermic (or cold-blooded) animals that metamorphose from a juvenile, water-breathing form to an adult, air-breathing form. Though amphibians typically have four limbs, the Caecilians are notable for being limbless. Unlike other land animals (amniotes), amphibians lay eggs in water. Amphibians are superficially similar to reptiles.
A toad can refer to a number of species of amphibians in the order Anura. A distinction is often made between frogs and toads by their appearance, prompted by the convergent adaptation among so-called "toads" to dry habitats. Many "toads" have leathery skin for better water retention, and brown coloration for camouflage. They also tend to burrow. However, these adaptations are not reliable indicators of its ancestry. Because taxonomy reflects only evolutionary relationships, any distinction between frogs and toads is irrelevant to their classification.

My adult newts are over 18 years old
Thats cool. Did you have them all 18 years?
Yep, I got them when I was 16. So now you know how old I am
They can live around 40 years, though, so they're only middle aged.

...for those of you who never watch original, un-cut Bug Bunny Looney Tunes cartoons....nevermind.
I remember! Found in box under the cornerstone of a condemed building.
Very funny toon that was!
My whites male behaves like that sometimes, Normally if I play a recording ofa male calling on my pc, Freddo will join it and try to outdo the newcomer, so its handy to demostrate his call (and its volume) if guests ask about them.
But recently I try I tried to do that and the little @#^% refused, made me look an idiot.
Soon as the guest left and we went back to watching tv, off he went for 10 mins straight!
