Good catch! Big fella! :) FYI... when you hold any amphibian, hold it with wet hands. They breathe primarily through their moist skin, not their mouth or nose. When we handle them with dry hands or gloves, we remove the mucous coating the skin, which reduces the ability of oxygen to penetrate their skin, and therefore their ability to breathe. Just for future reference. :)
