I have just found my first green tree frog for at least 20 years.
Silly thing was on the front steps under a leaf and could easily have been walked on.
I’m totally chuffed.
sweet :)

I remember when going to the loo at my aunt’s place out west (it was an outside septic toilet) when I was a teenager, turning around to flush and there was a big bright green tree frog staring at me. Gave me a bit of a fright!!!! LOL

They’re still common in lots of places.
Roll it up in some wet grass and suck the grass Bubba. Let me know if you get out of it.
I’ll make a mint.
Looks like he/she is trying to hibernate for the winter. Have you got some mulch in a vaguely damp spot? He/she might head there to keep warm and moist.

I must be a bit dim, you’ll have to explain that one.

There’s plenty of hiding spots.
I’ve posted the photo on a frog forum to see if anyone knows what the blue patches on it’s head are.

they can get the yellow pigment stripped out of their skin by detergents, I’ve noticed…so he might have bumped into some kind of chemical like that?

If it was a toad I would get it, but why would you smoke a frog???

I’m agog D.
“Frogs produce a number of chemicals in their skin, including hallucinogens, glues and anti-microbials, to ward off infection and stop other animals from trying to eat them.”
My dog was addicted to green tree frogs. High as a kite he’d get. (At one point he had a 6 frog a day habit. He’s been thru re-hab now and is OK)
Have a google and you’ll see.

Here is an article on green tree frogs…does this mean I should encourage them to dinner during summer? We had the largest numbers of frogs in a long time, last summer, and the mosquitoes were still around but not as bad….might be something in that…they survive our cold winters better than the toads, and it looks like they breed up faster…helped along by yours truly catching toads from time to time…
aaawww he’s so cute…….glad to read you have one in your garden:D
