Are toads really slimy?

Answer 1

No. One of the main differences between toads and frogs is that toads have a dry, rather rough skin, while frogs have a moist, rather slimy skin.

Answer 2

Frogs have very special skin!.They don't just wear it, they drink and breathe through it.
Frogs don't usually swallow water like we do. Instead they absorb most of the moisture they need through their skin.
Not only that, but frogs also rely on getting extra oxygen (in addition to what they get from their lungs) from the water by absorbing it through their skin. Because frogs get oxygen through their skin when it's moist, they need to take care of their skin or they might suffocate. Sometimes you'll find frogs that are slimy. This is because the frog skin secretes a mucus that helps keep it moist. Even with the slimy skin, these frogs need to stay near water. Toads on the other hand have tougher skin that doesn't dry out as fast, so they can live farther from water than most frogs.
In addition to jumping in water, frogs and toads can get moisture from dew, or they can burrow underground into moist soil.
Frogs shed their skin regularly to keep it healthy. Some frogs shed their skin weekly, others as often as every day! This looks pretty yucky...they start to twist and turn and act like they have the hiccups. They do this to stretch themselves out of their old skin! Finally, the frog pulls the skin off over it's head, like a sweater, and then (this is gross) the frog EATS IT!!!!



so, yes. they are really slimy :)

hope this helps :D<3

Answer 3

Toads are not slimy at all. They spend most of their time on land and generally have rough dry skin.

Frogs spend most of their time in water; their skin is generally green and wet and yes, most people think frogs feel pretty slimy.

Answer 4

my teacher told me toads feel as if they are slimy because there skin if thats what you would call it there skin if bumpy and smooth in a way so when they get wet it feels as they are slimy or she said it could be they have some sort of texture on them so when the get wet they are slimy.

Answer 5

No they are actually dry
although some toads can secrete a milk ,when they are scared,that is offensive to the skin

Answer 6

Nope; just kind of damp. Be sure to hold them around the middle, because their legs are really strong, plus they will, er, relieve themselves on you to try to get you to let go!
