My New Babies <3

[LilyPad]

I thought they changed color based on their surroundings, that is clearly not true. Paddy has always stayed a gray/white coloring, never changed except when I first got her, she was more green. The Gray one I took a pick of is a brownish black right now, the two green ones have stayed green though! Funny since the 3 are in the same tank, you'd assume they'd take on similar colors. Not true though!!

My little guy turns white when he's sleepy, and gray when he's playful.

That is super adorable!! To be honest, the gray tree frog would not have been my first pick...now that I learn more about them and spend more time with them, I'm in love!! They are smart and so interesting. The chameleon like qualities make them extra awesome! I will surely have gray tree frogs for a long LONG time to come.

Congrats on the new additions! Dry skin seems to be pretty normal with Grays, they aren't a slimy frog.

It seems to be a combo of surroundings, humidity, and temperature. Each individual will also have a range of colours it can switch too. For example my female only ranges from a very light gray to a dark gray, and the only green she ever displays is the patch under her eyes. My male ranges from light gray to greenish/dark gray to full on green.
