Can anybody ID this frog/toad (found in Houston Area)

saleenadam Apr 07, 2005 11:04 PM

Well, i've find these little toads/frogs often around my house and in the woods while out herping and wonder if anybody here can tell me what it is. Looking through the field guide the closest thing I can see is the Blanchard's Cricket Frog, but i'm not sure. Heres a pic of one I found not too long ago, any help is appreciated, this one was found just West of Houston, Tx.

Which subspecies do you think it is? I was thinking Blanchard's because the other two (Northern & Coastal) that live in Texas have a stripe on their legs and this one doesn't appear to.

Honestly, I couldn't say. Hopefully someone else can chime in on this one. Nice photos by the way,

Cool, thanks for the help on confirming it is Cricket Frog though and the photo compliment. I'm having trouble telling the differences between the three of them even looking at photos online and in the field guide especially with all the different colors they can be.

Not really able to identify by the pictures. If u can try to get a picture of one where its brighter so you can see colors better.
