Hey! Don't talk about Princess Peachs loyal subjects like that! They hang out in damp dungeons with lizards. They never know when their next meal is going to come. So OBVIOUSLY you eat everything you find!
That doesn't work though because some of the best lickable ones are tree frogs. Waxy Monkey Tree Frogs have a whatchacall it, not alkaloid, that is a super opiate like 1,000x morphine or something, then there are other drugs on other tree frogs. Then some toads have psychadelics on their skin as toxin. Most all tree frogs or toads have toxic secretions though as I understand it.
I think of toads and newts as being more terrestrial, while frogs and salamanders are more aquatic. Obviously they’re all amphibious, but frogs and salamanders like to keep their skin wet, but I’ve seen totally dry and dusty toads.
You got newts and salamanders (somewhat) backward:
From Wikipedia: Unlike other members of the family Salamandridae, newts are semiaquatic, alternating between aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Not all aquatic salamanders are considered newts, however.

I think they are called Toads because they are toadstools, aka mushrooms.

I'm pretty sure my good friend Jeremy would disagree. I'm gonna ask him next time I help him drink his wine.

Maybe a better organization would be : don't lick, ok to lick, and the lick expands conciousness and is vital to space travel.

I think it's the same with turtles and tortoises
Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 176d
I feel like turtles can be partially to fully aquatic, but tortoises are land based only
village604@adultswim.fan · 1 pts · 176d
I thought that was the case for frogs and toads too.

The Surinam Toad is entirely aquatic. ┐( ∵ )┌
Editing to add: I looked up images of this creature and DO NOT DO THAT. Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew
