Hello

Hi, I am new here, found the forum while searching to try to indentify a frog we found today in the pool filter.

I used to own ACF's and this frog sorta resembles those but it does not have webbed feet. I will try to get some good pics of him and see if anyone knows what he is.

Hi, welcome to the forum. There's lots of smart people here who would be able to identify whenever you can get a picture up.

This? They fall into pools quite a bit.

Welcome to the forum.

I wasn't sure if there was a specific area to post ID photos or not.. I really can't tell if that is him or not.. He was starting to look really stressed and dry so I filled a tank 1/2 full of water and put him on a piece of driftwood so he could get out if needed. I haven't messed with him much since we got him home.

Thanks for the welcomes~

Looks to me that Seth was right. Eastern Narrow-mouthed Toad (Gastrophryne carolinensis) Well done Seth

Awesome! you all rock, thanks so much~ guess we will let him go later after it gets dark - I have loose chickens outside and don't want anyone to eat him..

I guess my guess was right. It is Gastrophryne carolinensis aka a narrow mouthed toad.

I will back up Seth's ID, its Gastrophryne carolinensis. I, personally, don't know too much about this species, but if they are anything like other Microhylids, they won't be too aquatic.

Thanks Kurt. I figured since he didn't have webbed feet that it wasn't going to be an aquatic frog. But I was at a loss with that slick skin - most of the frogs around here are bumpy.. LOL
