found a treefrog in Newhampshire

nhballpython Aug 15, 2004 12:09 AM

Ok here is a weird one. I am new to frogs. I dont know a thing about them. But my girl does. well i was playing socom II tonight and i heard a weird thing slap against my inside window curtain and i was like holly jesus a Bat because i only saw the curtain move. I didnt have a clue what it was. then it jumped onto my bed and freaked me out. Then i realized it was a frog. Talk about freaking me out. I was yelling to my friends on socom that theres a freaking bat in my room theres a bat in my room.
so my question is what kind of tree frog could this be? I know its a treefrog. the thing was sticking to everything. everytime it tried to escape me it would stick to whatever it jumped to. i would say snout to vent its about 1 1/2 inches long. its kind of olive greyish brown. big black eyes and rough looking skin with blotchey markings all over it. I am hoping to get a digital camera to take a pic of it before i let him go tomorrow night when its cooler and wetter outside. and then i will post hte pic. he is pretty cool looking thats for sure.
thanks for anyone who can tell me what he is.

in new hampshire there are only two frogs that are tree frogs. the spring peeper, brown with a brown x on it. and the grey treefrog, grey with grey splotches on it a light spot under the eye and yellow under the legs

Sounds like a young gray tree frog.

Pictures of two of my grays. You can see the light stripe under the eye Yellowboy mentioned.
