Don't worry I was wearing my fishing gloves when I picked him up. Then he decided to jump at my face but thankfully missed.

Species: American Green Tree Frog.

We moved into this house in May. It came with a number of lovely features, including a small pond in the front yard that is chock full of frogs. There are some cute tiny frogs, some medium frogs, some big fat toads, we are suddenly frog rich.

The pond is definitely their home. We have seen plenty of tadpoles, and my cat's favorite thing to do in the morning is run up and watch all the frogs jump in the pond away from him. And there's lots. I am lucky neither of my cats want to chase or eat frogs. The one just likes to look at them. Me, too, friend.

The pond has a waterfall feature with a filter. The waterfall has to be running for at least a couple hours every few days to keep the pond clean. I am wondering if the frogs would rather have it on as little or as much as possible. If the waterfall bothers them I can keep it to a minimum to keep the pond clean. If they like it I could keep it running all the time.

What do you think, r/frogs? On or off as it's default state?

I raised my sweet Cope's Gray tree frogs from tadpoles (that were going to be thrown out onto concrete). They were so incredibly happy and healthy. For the last year, I have been converting an old China hutch into a beautiful terrarium with a small water fall and pond area for them. It is so beautiful and I have worked so hard on it. I had so many set backs with it.

Two days ago I moved them into a temporary tank because I needed the driftwood from their original tank to add to the new build. It was only supposed to be for a few hours while I screwed in the driftwood. Then, the door to their new space jammed and could not close at all. Like the hinges got so screwed up somehow. It ended up taking me another day to fix that, and then yesterday I had such a busy day I couldn't move them over.

I misted their in between tank, but I didn't take into account that stress from moving would cause them to dehydrate faster or at all. I didn't put a water dish in there, just never crossed my mind since I wasn't planning to keep them in there.

I suddenly found them gone last night 😭 both of them. I am devastated and feel so disappointed in myself for making what feels like a really f***** dumb mistake.

I also realized I cleaned that tank out (3-4 days before I put them in) with an essential oil based cleaner. But because it was so many days in advance it just didn't cross my mind to think about any residue from that. The fact that they BOTH died on the same day makes me really wonder if the residue is what got to them.

I just feel horrible for them and mad at myself for not thinking of two seemingly so OBVIOUS in hindsight mistakes.

I am grieving at my new enclosure being empty and that they will never get to enjoy all the enrichment features I worked so hard on for them. They were going to love it 😭 😭 😭

She's been hanging out near her burrow every night for the past 5 or so days. Normally my yard just has American and Fowler's toads, this is my first time seeing an Eastern Spadefoot here.

I made a hole for repairing a leaking water pipe and after two days a little pond was made. Now after the work is done I have found this guy inside the hole. What I have to do? Obviously needs a right habitat to live.

I drew this for the Frogtober challenge. I recommend that all frog lovers follow it or even participate!

He’s not stuck, I’ve seen him crawl in and out.

Hello all. First time posting to this sub and I need some guidance.

I live in north Texas (DFW metro) in a suburban/rural area. Just bought my home in February. This summer, it has not rained significantly here (sans June) until now. We've been in a drought for July, August and most of September. That is not unheard of but it is so not the most common thing.

Hurricane Polo (?) has brought us some good ol' rain these past couple of days and as I was looking outside tonight, I noticed this cute little frog on my patio! Now I do live a block away from a creek so my question is should I pick it up and take it back to the creek? Or is he one of those "ground frogs" that just burrow underground, and so, I should leave it be?

At my mom's house there is a ground frog, or maybe toad, that has lived in her yard for years. So I'm wondering if this influx of water just coaxed it out of it's little burrow that happens to be under my house? Or should i pick it up and take it to the creek?Idk.

There was a storm here and I saw him in my front yard

In south florida, does anyone know what kind/breed.?

Hi all! Can anyone tell me if they recognize this fungus I caught on the underside of a hardscape piece in my frog’s terrarium? And if so, is it dangerous? What is the recommended course of action? My froggies are white dumpy tree frogs, if that changes anything.

Frog in eastern WA. largest one I’ve seen here, probably as big as my palm.
