    Hi Tori, welcome to the forum! I've spent a lot of time chasing amphibians in Louisiana (mind you that can be said for most of the eastern states!). I'm even become allergic to those big black hairy mosquitoes you have around there .

    Amy, I currently have 6 frogs total. 3 of them, which 2 are female and 1 male, are American Green Tree Frog. I have 2 American Cope's Grey Tree frog to my understanding. One of those I had raised from a clutch of WC tadpoles. And my last one, poor lil fella, is still unidentified. And I am currently stuck on indentifying him.

    John, it doesn't matter what type of mosquito it is, some of them are big enough to carry you away from your enjoyment. As where my place is, I have a pond in my yard. I also live by woods, and some of the area in the woods, and around my house is considered wetland/marsh. It never dries in those areas, and stays wet year round. So that is mosquito heaven! The mosquito population over runs the frogs at my house!

    And as soon as I figure out how to upload pictures, I will surely do it.

    Welcome to the forum Tori it's nice to have you!

    I can't wait to see some pictures of your frogs, especially the unidentified one. If you upload a picture of the little guy to this thread I'm sure we wouldn't mind helping you figure out what species he/she/it is.

    HEY! Sorry it's taken so long for me to get to this post. I've been like Super Super Woman/Mom these past few weeks.

    So here is the unidentified fella. I have 3 of these now. I'll explain that in a minute though! But one, I want to say is male, has AMGTF (American Green Tree Frog) markings. The yellowish stripe that runs around the frog. They go from green, to green with dark green spots, to brown with dark brown spots. Kinda chameleon like, if you ask me. Also, the one that has the AMGTF marking, was mating with the Chameleon Female as I will call them for now!

    The only survivng froglet that I have. It may be too little to be sexed? Which by the way can either be a Grey or Cope's Grey Tree Frog.

    These look like Gray Treefrogs (eastern or copes, impossible to tell apart visually and both are in your area) except the American Green treefrog in the second picture.

    However, I'm not really familiar with your Louisiana frogs, you might want to check out:

    Association of Zoos and Aquariums - Frogs and Toads in Louisiana

    the Bird-voiced looks like a Gray, but the flash colours inside the leg are supposed to be more greenish I guess.

    Which now, I have 1 male and female AMGTF. The littler female died. There is 3 adult Grey Tree frog/Copes Grey, 1 female and 2 male. And one froglet that looks too little to sex, but the Grey/Cope's markings. I have 3 of the unidentified ones, the ones that change colors. I later found the mating pair (pic below), on my pants leg after walking inside, so I just tanked them. The female laid eggs, half of the clutch didnt make it though. But I do have quite a few tadpoles. And I think that may be it? LOL
