The first is a frog that I found in a creek in the woods in northern Delaware. He was about the size of my palm. I tried to ID him, and he seems closest to the "Northern Cricket Frog," but he was way too big, based on the pics I've seen online.
The second is a tiny little frog that I found on a tree in northern Pennsylvania. He was really tiny - about the size of a penny.
Thanks!!

I concur with mark...green frog =) I worked with this species years ago =).
EDIT: I just looked at that last picture....that doesn't seem to be the same frog as the one above it. I also cant identify the species in that last photo.
I always thought that the last picture would be a wood frog. I always see them around my house and since wood frogs handle the cold really well it only made sense for me.
I think that you all are right! And yep, as I mentioned in the first post, these are two different frogs.
I looked up "Green Frog" and "Wood Frog" in the "Peterson Field Guides Reptiles and Amphibians" book and the descriptions seem almost perfect to me. I think that the wood frog must have been a juvenile or something, because even though the markings match, that guy was TINY (literally the size of a penny). Thanks all!!
Matt beat me to it, frog in last pic is Rana sylvatica, commonly known as a Wood Frog.
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
Last Foto, is a wood frog.
