    Default Hello! I have some questions!

    Hi I just made an account on here because I am a new frog owner. I was wondering if I posted a picture of the frogs I have on here if you guys could tell me what species they are.

    They are grey looking in good light, kind of a green in bad light. White bellies and about the size of a coin dollar. Found them on the shore line of a pond.

    If you posted a picture i am sure someone can!

    They sound like gray tree frogs Gray tree frog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , but with out a picture they can not be identified.

    Hmm possibly. But they are a little smaller and cuter than most pictures I see.. But they are probably babies haha.

    But yes that's what I was thinking they are too hah.

    You're right. They are definitely more green than gray.

    It's kind of hard to see, but it doesn't look like grays to me. I could definitely be wrong though.

    Hmm. They were caught in a pond on the shoreline in Ohio if that helps. If we can't get a positive ID what frog do you think they most resemble, like what frog could I pretend they are to use a good care sheet?

    I think there are a couple members who live in Ohio. Maybe one will have a good idea.

    Okay after closer examination I conclude they are brownish with small lime-green spots on their backs. lol

    Definitely not leopards, they are Blanchard's cricket frog, Acris crepitans blanchardi. They are members of the treefrog family, Hylidae and only grow to 1.5 inches.

    Also, I looked up some info about the Cricket frogs and it's missing a lot of the key distinctive marks, like the striped thighs, triangle between eyes.

    They have the markings of juvenile Leopards. Bright green spots, large head, long toe, dorsolateral ridges, bumpy texture on back, small stripes starting on the legs, and the Leopard is the most abundant frog in Ohio. I think they are Northern Leopards Kurt.

    Hank, could you try and get a clearer pic from more angles please?

    Here is a juvenile Northern Leopard. Do they look like this?

    They do not resemble those very much. Their spots are not that detailed. The lime green spots are more mild and not those strips on their body. They also don't seem that compact, much slimmer.

    I tried to look at the larger frogs and I did notice the a green triangle between the eyes and the strips on the thighs, as with the cricket frogs.

    If you can post a more detailed photo it will make it much easier to tell. If we rule out Leopards than a better photo is necessary. Kurt is probably right.

    Also.. one of the frogs today is very dark looking? It wasn't like that yesterday. It almost looks like he's coated in mud, but it's just darker, can really see the spots. Is it molting?
