Baby Gray Tree Frogs

[John]

Very nice! Welcome to the forum Jon. How did you "import" them?

Friends of mine who live on the Western side of the state mentioned that they heard gray tree frogs in the spring. A quick trip to the pond on their property and a few bucket full of tadpoles later, here they are.

Without me hitting the books and looking it up, does this species normally occur in your part of the state?

I believe they do, my girlfreind's mom said that she had tree frogs in her yard... she's in western MI. She said they were green, but I know Hyla cinerea aren't in Michigan.

interesting how old is the neighborhood? when did you introduce the frogs? and where is the closest place to you that you have found them, how far away is that? sorry for all the questions im just curious

It amazes me how much they can look like a green tree frog when they have their green suits on.
It amazes me even more how good they are at shifting colors to camouflage themselves.

I've been interested in them since reading about them here on the forum. everyone seems to really like them. I know they are here in Maryland, but I have yet to venture out at night to look... actually, I wouldn't know where to start looking.

I actually found a third gray tree frog tonight to add to my male and females. I love them they're such good insect hunters and while they're typically completely freaked out at first once you get them used to their cage you can just take the top off and play with them while the other ones just relax on the lip of the cage. Plus they feel so cool walking across your hands with their cups. Their call is pretty cute too. Once I find a camera I'll have to start posting some pictures of them. But at night they're really good hunters. I usually go outside and pick up some huge moths and put them in their cage and when I turn off the lights you can hear all 3 just flying around the cage.
