Random Froggie in the window

[ratluvr76]

So I caught this little guy on my patio door a couple of days ago. I put him in a 32 oz deli container, just for the night. I caught him at night so wanted to wait till daylight where I could get better light for a photo. He was a pretty calm little fellow, but so cute!! just look at those little bugged out eyes. cutest little face EVER. I also thought his patterning was really nice. Reminiscent of birch bark or some other similar colored tree bark.

Anyways, just sharing. He was subsequently released into the azalea bushes out front.

Awwww

He is a cutie! I had one for a couple weeks I kept seeing on my back screen door last fall. Drove the cats crazy -- they so wanted him on the inside not outside!
Dunno whatever happened to him -- he just stopped showing up one day. Weather turned cold, I guess.

Oh yes there is lots of three lined skinks around here. Also green anoles, fence lizards and a little arboreal gecko that looks a little like a leopard geck but light pink. I think someone told me their Mediterranean geckos? Cute as pie, really skittish and are my best friends. They eat all the moths off the windows. In a month or two they'll be out in force and I'll put up a few pics of them too.

Grey tree frog. Just in case you were curious about the species. The genus should be Hyla, but I'm not too sure about the species.

 

[ratluvr76]

Yeah tree frogs are pretty prevalent here in swamp country. I figured it was one though I've never seen a gray one before. Although I'm a city girl and not from here lol.

Maybe I'll try to track down exact species just for fun lol. He really was a cute little booger have. I mean just look at that FACE!! Sooo cute

If you go a little out if the city there's a bunch of Dolomedes triton and garters. There's also a lot more variation in wood frogs now (found a rust coloured one last year)... Ok fine... It sucks here.

Maybe...versicolor and chrysoscelis look very much alike, the only difference being versicolor is slightly larger. They also have different calls.

Nice find!
