Tyr, with his messed up left hand, hanging out on a big fat Pothos vine. I had actually planned to trim this particular section of the plant as it's starting to overgrow the vivarium, but he took a shine to it before the pruners came out.

I was driving through the woods on my cousin's land in southeast GA. When I got out to walk around, there was this treefrog on my red truck. I grabbed my camera and as I was about to take the shot, the frog turned its head. I could not have asked for more.
I think this is Trachycephalus (=Phrynohyas) venulosa, the milky or marbled treefrog. It was within the range of the species and is the right color I think. He was quite content to sit on the tip of a log and let me photograph him.

Gray TreeFrog - Hyla chrysoscelis. Well it found the flower pot. When pot is watered it comes to the drain and poses for the photographer
Hyla squirella or Hyla femoralis. I am leaning towards femoralis because of the mask. It's hard to be sure at this size though. This guy was about the size of a dime. Jax, FL.

The Gray Treefrog can be green, gray, or brown in color. It can be a solid color, or it can have blotches on its back. The gray treefrog can change its color in seconds. It tends to become darker when it is cold or dark. Its coloring helps it blend in with tree bark! It has a white underside and lots of warts. It has large, sticky toe pads that help it cling to tree bark and other surfaces. It has bright yellow to orange skin under its thighs.
The gray treefrog is nocturnal. It spends the day resting in trees and shrubs. At night, it crawls among the branches and leaves looking for food. It usually only comes out of the trees and bushes during the breeding season. In the winter, it hibernates under leaves, bark, or rocks on the forest floor.
Breeding season runs from April to August. Males gather in trees and bushes next to breeding ponds and swamps and begin calling. The male aggressively defends its territory from intruders. The female selects a mate based on his call. She lays her eggs on the surface of shallow water in ponds or swamps. She may also lay her eggs in standing water in tire ruts, vernal pools, or even swimming pools! The eggs are attached to vegetation to keep them from floating away. The female lays as many as 2,000 eggs in groups of 10-40 eggs. The tadpoles hatch in 4-5 days and change into froglets in about two months.
