My friend and I have been discussing this for a while, and we really would like to know. A lot of people assume the frog is faster, but is it true? I'm sure there are specific frogs are faster than specific toads and vice-versa, but in general, which one is faster?

Can't really tell.
Because: Although there are around 300species toads, and more than 400 frogs, the median speed of the faster toads will be higher from that of the faster frogs. However the average speed will depend on the age, size, nutrition and environment the toads of frogs live in.
Anyway, you should know that on LAND frogs jump short distances but they can't move away from water for too long, while the toads mainly just walk and sometimes jump to get away from danger. On WATER however the frogs are faster than toads as the toads are not made for water.
So frogs are faster in water while toads are faster on land.

Well it can depend waht kind of toads and frogs you are talking about. The longest frog jump on record measured 33 feet 5.5 inches. It was made by a frog named Santjie at a frog derby held in South Africa. (This Kind of Frog would beat a Toad any day beacause it can jump so far)
The average frog that people see are about 1.5 inches long and they can jump about 30 inches or 2.5 feet per leap and the toad that people usual see can jump about 1 foot per jump or 12 inches.
Frogs I think might be faster but toads might be pretty close because they take short quick little jumps. Like I said it would depend on the type of Frog or Toad.

Define fastest? Generally the bigger they are the farther they hop and therefore the faster they can escape. Large bull frogs (especially African bullfrogs) could be considered the fastest... Or large marine toads... When it comes to swimming the frog is definitely faster, as they are better equipped for life (and escape) in the water. The hardest frog to catch for me personally is the leopard frog, those things are lightning fast!! One sent me into a rosebush, that was painful...
And NEITHER give you warts...

Well the frog is the better jumper because it has stronger hind legs than the toad.

no they cant eat reptomin. they need crickets.but they can eat small guppies and some small worms you cant keep them with any other animals besides firebellied toads becouse they are toxic and will quicky kill any other living things in the tank. a ten gallon tank would be fine for one or two but you'll need a bigger one if you have anymore
