Gray Tree Frogs?

I wanted to add that I feel the same way about American Toads. I don't know why so many people would want them as pets, I see them everywhere I turn in my yard!

Frog preference may just depend on the location one is at. If a frog is abundant one wants what he or she cna't easily obtain. For instance, green tree frogs have just recently expanded their territory to the piedmont area of NC and I now have four of them in one tank as a result. They are new to me and I love them. However, grays have been here ever since I can remember and in massive numbers.

I feel exactly the same about American toads, lol. In fact, for the last 3 years, dozens of them have deposited thousands of eggs in my father's pool. When they morph and he finally has to mow the lawn, it looks like a plague, haha. We could hear Gray Tree Frogs and Spring Peepers nearby, but they never came. This year, however, there were 4 or 5 Grays that came poolside, but I never saw any females, eggs, or tadpoles despite my daily searching. When I lived out in the boonies the sounds of frogs were deafening, and we always found the little guys stuck to the window. Never here in the city, though, so I was thrilled when I got to watch them call.

I was actually visiting Dad and collecting a few toad tadpoles with my son when I happened to net a few newly hatched tadpoles that looked very very different from the toad tads....and now I have froglets!
