He is fattening up If you put more green stuff in your viv, he might turn back to green too! 2 of my greys go back and forth between green and grey, one of them stays green all the time, and another I've never seen turn anything but grey-white. It's fun

aww. he's growing up! my 2 have turned brown and gray. they don't go green anymore, even with all the plants i have. i hope their adult coloration shows a touch of green at least.

Wow really? interesting! hes still in quarantine so i dont wanna add anything quite yet. But ive got his real home set up already, its got some green in it. More brown than anything what with the substrate and bark, but still some green!

Haha i was thinking of naming him Smeagol because of how frog like smeagol is, but then i was like, "no way it has to be Gandalf the gray, thats hilarious!" lol

Yes! its great. Hmm i wonder if it has anything to do with humidity? mantids will change color as well and its not always based on their surroundings, for some its based on humidity levels.

Hahah Gandolf the Gray! I love it!

Haha glad you can appreciate my humor, my sis says im a dork, LOL

[ColleenT]

i spray my guys and the viv a few times a day, so i don't think it's a humidity thing.. it's all individual.

Oh, they are all sprayed equally?

[ColleenT]

Day 18!



He came out of his water bowl when I opened the lid. He wanted to come out!



His colors as of late.



Without the flash.



He wanted to jump on my tablet! He was attracted to the light of the flash.



Cute face



I was trying so hard to get a proper shot of the yellow on his legs, you can see some here.



This one is the best I could get!



Hanging on!



Preparing to jump on my shirt



Last photo! aw

I wonder if it has to do with temperature? do you have all grays, all greens, some grays and some greens? I forgot lol

[ColleenT]

Maybe genes?

Hi...
I've been a member for awhile now, but this is my first post. I was enchanted by the name "Gandalf the Gray".
I've got four Grey Tree Frogs. All but one changes colors... he's always medium to dark brown with black outlines... he's the smallest, and used to be named Lazy (until he proved he wasn't lazy at all) now he's Brownie. The larger two are bright solid green right now, Leaf and Lucky, but can be anything from dark brown with black, to pale beige grey. Little Guy is usually pale grey, but at times is grey and green, often brown and green and tonight is sitting next to Brownie and could be his twin (dark brown with black outlines) except Little Guy is fatter. They are getting close to a year and a half old. I've never heard them calling, but I think the smaller two are males. I just recently began keeping their tank at a more constant humidity rather than letting it fluctuate somewhat thoughout the day and night. I do believe that the greens are brighter and more solid and more frequent since I made the change. It amazes me that when they are solid green, their skin is almost smooth and when brown they are covered with bumps. I adore these little guys and can't figure out how I ever got along without them. They are amazing creatures.

PS. Many years ago, I had an anole I called Smeagol.
