Poisonous frogs.

I wonder why I can just grab those venomous frogs like blue, yellow, red, orange frogs but I cannot just grab grey/green toad?!
I just wonder as this makes no logic sense.

Poison dart frogs get their name from the fact that indeginous tribes use their toxic secretions to poison the tips on their blowdarts. Not because they inject the toxins into your body. :)

But don't you get affected by them touching you? Which would imply blood stream?

Thanx for pointing it out. I fixed it :)
You are right it is poison not venom :)

Has there been any update on the ability to grab gray/green toads?

Use stone traps, then you can pick them up easily. ;)

They are from the Story mode, you can pick them up just have a lot of the white pills to take so you can bring a frog to the lab to run a test on it for the cure. You will get a fever and sweaty skin but you will survive keep taking the white pills you will need a lot they are availabe at Anaconda Island and use frogs close by to the laB.
If this is survival game not story do so at your own risk, they are poisonous you can spear them use bow to shoot at them dont eat even when cooked. Take lots of pills

Stop necroing, nothing else needs to be added lmfao

Also curious because I was making a firepit and was putting sticks and a stupid poison frog jumped by and I accidentally picked up a frog and slowly started do die. Pretty annoying/unfortunate.

Was it my fault? Yes. Is it silly we can't do this to non-poison frogs? Also yes.

The first time I played on Anaconda Island, I dropped a large stone & somehow ended up punching a dart frog at the same time. You can survive it if you have enough supplies to treat the toxin & fever (the former will require replacing the first bandage w/ a second, once the bandage icon disappears).

Has there been any update on the ability to grab gray/green toads? Has it been confirmed to be a bug or oversight?

Not sure how thngs were when this topic started, but the main point is that you need to kill edible animals before picking them up, I consider it as a rule of the game and I'm happy with it. Frogs need to be captured alive so they'll continue to secrete poison, for story mode reasons and to make darts. And they're another danger to be careful about, it spices things up.
The same could apply to just picking up curled up small armadillos or turtles and just stuffing them in your pack, and I'm sure most of us catched crabs and fishes with their hands in reality.
Why can't you throw obsidian stones? Why can't you build a fire with 8 small sticks and 6 normal sticks?
