Thanks Nate, I really like the new Cranwell's its got alot of personality

 

[nickbachman]

check the thumbs of your cranwelli and look for a dark pad on the backside of each thumb. it might be too young to have any, i cant tell from the pics. but if it does have some, it's male.

 

[Arachnophilist]

yeah I looked and couldnt find any yet

 

[Natemass]

awesome colors on the new guy

NIce pics and nice toads/frogs. Just wondering.. why are the called tomato frogs, they odnt resemble tomatoes at all!:? :?

 

[Acal57]

They normally are red. I'm not sure if there is a yellow colour morph or if they turn redder with age, do a google image search and you'll see what I mean.

 

[roach dude]

Ahh now thats where the name comes from , i think the do redden with age

 

[Arachnophilist]

yes they will get red as they get older. I dont know what species of tomato frog they are unfortunately.. but you can see on the legs where the color has started to com in on the little ones. the larger one I got first and they are from the same batch. I have noticed that it is a brighter shade of red on its legs.. and those little guys have a LOT of growing left to do. I am looking forward to seeing how well they change color.

Great pics all. I was wondering, do these guys smell anymore than an average fish tank? Also, are there any native frog "maps" available online? Just off the top of your head though, not neccessary to go digging. I've lived in northern rhdoe island my entire life but only one time I saw about 5 "tree frogs" (I guess) clinging to my porch door vertically. I'd love to know what they were seeings I've only ever encountered bullfrogs, many toads of various sizes and one or two albino toads. (I assume..they were all white ). Thanks all, and very lovely assortment of tropical frogs!

well describe the treefrogs and I could possible let you know what they were. and I dont find that any of the frog tanks are really very smelly

Thanks for the reply. I don't remember exactly what they looked like, the night I found all these frogs was about 3 to 4 years ago. I assume green and white on the under belly. Each could probaly fit on a silver half dollar. I'd never seen whatever species this was before and still haven't to this day. Like I said, what surprised me most was that they were all clinging to glass. Every frog I've ever seen has been a bullfrog or close to the type and has had webbed feet, obviously inable to climb such a smoothe surface.

EDIT: I guess it would help to know what species in the north east are climbers, or have seperated toes, I'm sure theres a term for that.

There are only two Arboreal frogs in Rhode Island. one being the Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor) and the other smaller more active Spring Peeper (Pseudacris crucifer) I would say if they were that small they could have been the Spring Peepers. look them up see which one fits.

Thanks arach, I'm not sure which one it was but either way it's nice to see a differnt species around here other than the ones that get into your pool and die, those are a pain. LOL
