A few years ago at about 3:00 in the morning my wife found one in our toilet, just as she was squatting to pee. She probably woke up the neighbors when she screamed. I assumed it had went down the bathroom vent pipe, and installed screens over the pipe.

That's a frog, not a toad. I have found frogs in my sink in the garage here in Southern UT.
Tree frogs can climb very well and jump an impressive distance for there size. They dry up quickly without humidity or water so they seek out water. To many chemicals and pollution for them to breed in most city sewer lines. It got into the house and is now lost, move it outside under a bush or into landscape that gets watered. |

That’s a tree frog. It’s coming from the vent on the roof. Had it happen often when I lived in GA. Wife was not amused when she sat down one day to have it jump up and touch her leg.

Op you posted a picture of a tree frog, not a toad.
Tree frogs are way less common than toads and are super neat. He can climb up walls like spiderman. He's basically magic. |

He's basically magic. He would have to make a helluva climb to get into a sewer vent on the roof. I have never seen them on the exterior wall, but if they operate at night I wouldn't. I don't harm them. I take them outside and release them, and let nature take its course. Maybe they just climb right back up and into the vents, IDK. It could be the same ones, over and over. |

Like others that posted definitively a canyon tree frog. Really the only type of tree frog living in your area. Out of al the reptiles & amphibians I collected and kept over the years, tree frogs are my favorite. I had a few aquariums with them and if you shake a bag of crickets into it they will jump across from one side to the other, catching the crickets before they even hit the ground. They will eat anything that moves that they can shove in their mouths. Great for eating local insects.
I first encountered them in Zion National Park. Had no idea tree frogs even inhabited the arid southwest. Like another poster said, tree frogs are like spider man and can climb and stick to anything. Easiest way to tell the difference from toads and regular frogs is that only tree frogs have the large suction cup like discs on their toes. |

I have a seasonal meadow/wetland in my backyard, I'll bet that's where they live & breed. I also hear frogs croaking sometimes at night. I now wonder if something so small can make such a loud noise. I will continue to spare them, when they invade my home. I may, however, put screens over the sewer roof vents to keep them out. The missus is still a bit freaked over the whole thing. I thank GD for enlightening me about these interesting creatures! |

They really hang on to the toilet when I remove them. The porcelain is very smooth so they get a good grip. |

Not toads. Those are tree frogs.. . Climb up on the roof and cover the vent pipes with screen. They crawl down and into the toilets. Happens a lot here in FL.
