Another frog from the 2nd visit from petland. I'll try to get a collage together of the cute visitors from both days.
Lithobates clamitans clamitans from South Carolina. These frogs are common throughout the Carolinas, though they are sometimes mistaken for young bullfrogs. An easy way to distinguish the two is the presence of the dorsolateral fold in the bronze frog, which runs from the rear of the eye toward the rear of the frog. The dorsolateral fold is absent in bullfrogs.

We were walking along the edge of a very water logged track (the trails were basically creeks after all the flooding) when Joe cried out ahead of me: “Oh, a little frog!” It was the sound of pure delight! We have never had much luck seeing frogs (even though we hear them from our house all summer!) The frog had leapt out of his way but stayed still long enough for me to get a photo. I think it is a juvenile and I am not sure what it is. If I had to hazard a guess, possibly the Southern Brown Tree Frog (Litoria ewingii). What a great find! [Castlereagh Nature Reserve, NSW]
EDIT: Possibly Litoria dentata or juvenile Litoria quiritatus
Red-eyed tree frogs come from rain forests of Costa Rica in Central America.
Why do they have such bright red eyes? Some believe that it is also a form of protection called "startle coloration". These frogs tend to be active at night, so if the frog is awakened in the daytime, as might happen if a predator chanced upon it despite its excellent day time camouflage, the eyes pop abruptly open. Since they are suddenly so bright, they startle the predator, who is likely to pause, if only for a moment. Big eyes staring at you could be those of an enemy, poised to attack. A moment's hesitation would be all the agile tree frog would need to make a leap to safety

Nice eyes on this little frog, although they don't look as metalic in these pictures as they actually were.
I spotted the tree frog in my shed, even this late in the year. At first I thought this one had a broken back leg - but he hopped around on it just fine. I just had not seen a leg like that one.
This little frog, 2.5 cm nose to tail, was found nestled between stacked cushions on our garden seat. How it got there seemed a mystery until it jumped, landed and stuck to a vertical surface.
Yesterday saw a temperature in the high 30sC, over 80F, so maybe it was cooler in the cushions.
Now the problem is where to place it where it will be safe?
This appears to be Hyla arborea, European tree frog (Fr Rainette verte) - Wikipedia. Which explains its ability to stick to vertical surfaces with its suction pad toes :D

Craugastor fitzingeri - This little frog, the Common Rain Frog (also known as Fitzinger's Robber Frog), is found from Honduras to Colombia. This one was ony about an inch long. Las Cruces Biological Station, Costa Rica
the green tree frog that was rescued by me is now FAT froggy. It can't be released into the wild as it is an alien species hence it became an adoptee.
It lives on crickets and when its in the mood to walk explore can be found on the floor walking around or sitting in the toilet bowl downstairs. All guest must check toilet bowl first to see if there is a green blob in it.
