CA2OR Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Anyone know what kind of frog this is? I am temtped to say suicidal being that he jumped off the wall, which is 2 stories up, went through the leaves in the tree next to my apt and landed on the grass. I thought he was a goner, till he simply jumped away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markdadof2 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 looks like what others have said - pacific green tree frog. We have them here and from what I understand they are a protected species. I was mowing with the tractor last week and one just escaped out from under the mowing deck! Although small, they have a very VERY loud croak!

racefan Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I have a 200 gal propane tank that I use to heat my swimming pool & I have 2 of these that seem to have taken up residence under the lid that goes over the regulator. I lifted the lid shooed them away & every time I lift the lid there they are.I've given up,they can go ahead & live there, fine by me.

Rick Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Tree Frog. As mentioned they make a loud croak. We had one living in the crack between the concrete porch and the foundation for several months. We spend quite a bit of time out there and while we heard it regularly I only saw it once. I don't know if it is a Pacific Northwest species or not though as we use to see a very similar one down in NC on the sides of the house all the time.

snowpunk Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 They come in all different colors too even though they are called green tree frogs. It takes me 3 hours to mow my lawn because I have to stop every 15 feet to save another one. I have a protected wetland park right out my backyard so I hear and see them all the time. When it rains they are impossible to miss on the road and my glass door out back is usually covered too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckie Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I would love to have them. I have a large lawn and back up to natural springs. I have only seen 1 in 20 yrs. Never hear them, I would love to sit on patio on warm summer nights listening to them. Call your self lucky Beckie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call your self lucky Beckie oh no, I like them, just a little irritating when I'm mowing the lawn because it takes so long to do. I'm just not cold hearted enough to run them over...

theJenchild Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I find these in my shower all the time. The first experience was a little creepy though! I grabbed my shampoo bottle and a frog popped out from the back of it. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I have about 10 of these in the front yard, kids catch them and put them back all the time, only rule I have is they don't kill them and they put them back where they found them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
