    Default Look what i found...what is it?

    Found a little cutie on the farm today while tearing up the fields, didnt recognize it so ive been searching for an answer as to what it is(aside from an amphibian).



    Here being the gulf of florida. Kinda thinking it may be loaded with eggs due to the amount of pudge its showing. The only thing, native, i can think of is ornat chorus frogs, or a red phase pacific tree.

    That looks like a Narrow Mouthed Frog of some kind. A type of Chubby Frog. They are burrowers. I didn't know any species of those lived in Florida. Post this in the Tomato Frog/Chubby Frog section to see if anyone gives you a exact species.

    North eastern narrow mouth, your comment reminded me of something i had read, im positive thats what he is. Makes perfect sense, in a sandy field, LOADED with ants and termites and crickets with a pond nearby. What narrow mouth could resist that?

    Wow. I have not saw this species of frog in years! I used to see them all the time under rotted logs while herping as a kid in Arkansas back in the 80's.

    Very cool looking frog, congrats on your find ! Just read a couple pages of information on them: Gastrophryne carolinensis and listened to their shrilling call.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
