Identifying Gray Treefrog Tads

[kevinp]

hi the caresheet for grey tree frogs in the care section says the tails are bright in contrast to the dull body.

Hi Kevin. I did see that in the care sheet. I was wondering if there was any other information like where I should look, where I should avoid, size of tadpoles, time they start breeding ect. Most tadpoles look alike to me

if you know an area that has grey treefrogs i would look in large puddles as soon as the weather breaks. a few weeks ago i went to where there are alot of frogs, everything was calling and mating except the greys. we had that early warm spell which triggered alot of breeding . the real spring and warming will bring them out soon i hope. normal size tads, like a leoprd frog. if you find grey tads you'll notice the tail coloring is much different than the body. most tads are just the same overall color

I used to go out looking for frogs during the breeding season, keep them in a tank til the next morning(cause I like hearing the frogs call) and return them to their pond the next morning. fairly commonly I would catch a pair in amplex(they wouldn't stop lol) and would bring them back, and by the next morning I would find eggs in the tank.
