Red-spotted Toad (Anaxyrus punctatus)

The species I am observing is a toad. I notice that this toad is not smooth at all and doesn't have the usual desert colors. I notice that this toad has bumps on it's back and those bumps are reddish brown, there are also black bumps on the toads face. I notice the eyes of the toad are big round black eyes with a hint of brown and green. This toad reminds my of a rock because of the way the toad sits. I notice the toad is a very light fading green. I wonder if this toad is poisonous? I wonder how this toad is surviving out here during the dry seasons. I wonder who named this toad a red-spotted toad. This toad as observed on Apr 20, 2021 · 11:41 PM at Coronado National Forest. I looked into it and apparently these toads can be poisonous, I found this information on https://fireflyforest.net.
