    Very nice place; those mosses look great !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    I missed this the first go round. I love the freaky fungi and lush moss. The wee wood frog was a nice find, they're hard to spot!

    The rectangularish spots point to this being a a Pickerel frog, Rana palustris. Leopard Frogs, Rana pipiens, can look similar but usually more rounded markings. A sure way to tell is if it has orange/yellow 'flash colours' on the inner thighs of the hind legs then it would be a Pickerel.

    Thank's Brian.
    I don't' think I lifted this frog out of the water? It was late afternoon - the mosquitoes were attacking my ankles !

    No..........I never take a thing
    It's a pristine forest -in the middle of nowhere- we like that way.

    As kids were allowed to catch the frogs 100's) but NEVER allowed to keep them.
    We use to have contests to see who could catch the most frogs in one day

    In the spring the spotted salamanders are so plentiful , you have to be careful where you walk.

    It's a very special place, my 83 year old parents purchased for $50.00 an acre in 1961.

    Thanks for looking, Lynn

    I'm surprised that you didn't find Mike Tyson wandering in the woods.
