Hello

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

I love these guys. They spend a long time calling during the summer and come out during storms. The males sound like lambs (as in sheep). The first time I heard them I honestly thought there was a field of sheep nearby.

Gastrophryne carolinensis, or the eastern narrow-mouth toad is a member of the family Microhylidae, which only has three members native to the United States. Most members of the family are smooth skinned. They all have to ability to shoot their tongues out to the sides of their mouths, unlike most frogs, who can only shoot them out in a forward direction.
