    Default I'm thinking... Gray Tree Frog. Any thoughts?

    I scooped up some of these little guys when they were teeny tiny about a month ago rom my makeshift polliwog pond in Baltimore MD. I put back most of them and kept just a half dozen of the biggest so my kids and I (well mostly me) could enjoy watching them grow and figure out exactly what kind of froggies they would become. I hear nothing but the joyous cacophony of gray tree frogs outside every night but I have seen Bullfrogs, Northern Green Frogs and Fowler's Toads so who knew? Anyway these guys look like they're shaping up to be Grays, I'm pretty sure. Any thoughts? If so, I'm probably not going to keep any, since they need so much room and they tend to be very nocturnal and hide mostly, from what Name:  im_thinking_gray_tree_frog_1.JPG

    Could be Grey's, if they start climbing around the enclosure when metamorphosed to frogs, you predicted outcome right. If kids undertand they are amphibians and delicate, etc. the White's Tree Frog - Litoria caerulea are probably one of the most tolerant. Anyone handling frogs must wash hands before and rinse with dechlorinated water. Washing hands again after handling is recommended too. All info you need is in the care article linked. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
