A: A bold, bright cream stripe from the snout to the rump in the Oak Toad; a thinner pale line in many, among many dark spots in the Fowler's Toad. B: Tall, wide-set ridges that curve in towards each other in the Oak Toad; faint ridges running onto the parotoid in the Fowler's Toad. C: Evenly small warts, none enlarged in the Oak Toad; small warts in irregular dark blotches in the Fowler's Toad. D: Adults never more than 1.4 in in the Oak Toad; adults 2 to 3.5 in; only the young are this small in the Fowler's Toad.
