[minxie1320]

hi everyone
i was sitting in my back garden yesterday waiting to take some picture of what animals are in my garden at night, when i heard a noise and it was a toad, then when i went to get a closer look at the toad i got scared by something big hopping next to it and this is what i saw -> (Sorry the pictures aint that good) i had never in my life seen an orange frog before so i wouldn't know the spieces of it or whether it was posionous or not
if anybody knows what spieces this frog is i would be more then greatfull to know. i have looked everywhere on the internet but can't seem tyo find anything

many thanks
chloe

Sorry I can't help with the ID, but that's a very pretty frog. Your geographic location might help someone with an ID though (country+state/province).

i live in bromley kent , london, united kingdom. when ever i sit in my backgarden i only ever see green toads or frog thats y the colour and size of this one shocked me and wondered if it was posionous or maybe something else

I think you are looking for Rana temporaria , seems like a gravid female.

so what is a rana temporaria, is it a normal pond frog or is it poisonous. what can you tell me about it. when looking at all the other rana temporaria on the internet they all seem to be green not orange. this one was orangy/yellow and was really big. bigger then a normal pond frog.
thanks

I don't know where you are looking on the net, but i just googled on images and saw tons of orange like temporaria.
I'm 100% positive it is a female Rana temporaria
Just a common frog in Europe.

I can tell you about them, but i think there are enough articles to read about them.
This one has some nice short info on them, i believe the site is from Great Brittain
