I recently found an interesting frog at my house that is under construction. I was empting muddy water out of a hole and saw a frog hopping around where i was dumping the water. I captured him and I had never seen a frog like him before and was wondreing if you could help. [Sorry about refering to the frog as a male i'm not sure of the sex and it is a habit,and i'm sorrry about the lack of a picture i'm not exactly the technical type. Iwill try to get a pic ASAP.] It is a small frog about one inch from it's nostrils to the base of it's legs. It has lots of small white spots on it's stomach and several black spots on it's chocolate-milk colored back. One of it's toes on each foot is espically long also it has lots of tiny bumps on it's back.I am no expert but i'm almost positive it is not a toad it's skin is very moist and inpossoe noother physical features that differ between toads and frogs. Thanks in advance for all the help. Oh yeah I live in Washington NC[eastern NC about 2 hours from the outer banks.

Unfortunately your description is too vague to even speculate as to the species. You can try looking at the Virginia Herpetological Society web site for frogs that are native to Virginia, which are practically the same that are native to North Carolina (only that North Carolina actually has more species of frogs). Chances are you'll find the one that you have

Thanks for the help I believe the animal I found is an eastern narrow-mouthed toad. I guess I was incorrect of the frog id I'm more of a reptile person.
