OMG OMG OMG Grey Treefrogs Hyla versicolor

[FrogFreak]

From what I heard...the call sounds like Chucky...which is the species Hyla Versicolor! Yours is a Gray Tree Frog!

[John]

The call is temperature dependent and under the right conditions the two species can sound almost the same, so unless you know how warm it was when you heard them call, it's still hard to say without a lot of experience.

They are most certainly Hyla versicolor. I spoke with the folks that brought them in. They cought them by a mud puddle wile it was raining last year. The only 2 gray tree frogs that are native to Virginia is Hyla versicolor and Hyla chrysoscelis. They cought them in the city of Rchmond. So it has to be Hyla versicolor because Hyla chrysoscelis are only found in the south east corner of this state. Unless we have an introduced species of grey tree frogs in the city of Richmond

Hyla versicolor and Hyla chrysoscelis are the two species which John is refering to. Correct me if I am wrong, but Richmond isn't too far from Norfolk and Virgina Beach. I was there last summer, even though I did not enter Richmond, I did drive around it on the way to Virgina Beach. I kind of remember the ride not being to long after that.

i was wrong I could either have Hyla versicolor or a Hyla chrysoscelis I will bring him to a expert today

[Kurt]

Not sure that will help, as they are very hard to tell apart.
