Yes, that's a long toed. That's probably a boreal toad, Bufo boreas.

Frogs and salamanders or newts are a bad mix...it will most likely end up with the salamander eating the frog but you just shoulden't mix species

They would be less stressed if they were kept separately. Frogs and sals can be a bad mix. See:

On the other hand, I think she found the two of them together. If they are similar enough in size that neither can eat the other, and they are provided with a large enough habitat and ample food, I think they could, perhaps, be kept together successfully

Hi guys. Yes I did find them pretty much in the same area under my house. They are about the same size, very small. They have been together since last Tuesday nite. Should I keep them together or let the froggy go?

I am feeding them worms, flies and other crawly creatures that I find. I havent seen the salamanders eat but the worms and flies have disapeared. The salamanders dont move to much. I just looked at them and the frog and 3 salamanders were inside a big lego piece. You know the large mega blocks. I believe it is a 25 gallon tank but I will check on that.

The one thing you have to consider is food competition between the toad and the salamanders. Toads are voracious eaters and might get to most of the food, leaving insufficient food for the salamanders. Unless you hand feed each individual (preferably with a long pair of tweezers), it might be better to keep the toad in a seperate enclosure.
