I always like to see the little frogs because if they are gone, then snakes are here eating them.. and I DO NOT LIKE SNAKES !!! At least , that is my theory..

Saw hundreds of tiny brown frogs (think about 1/8 the size of a man's finger nail) today at Mangrove executive course.

My deer friends are back in my yard and have multiplied. Not quite the same as toads in Florida, I enjoy them on my return to Ohio.

There are these toads/frogs adapting to the color of my home with big eye and oversized cupped feet that I found in the handle of my screen door and then again between sections of gutters while I was cleaning debris them from

Its a nasty feeling to stick your hand in a door handle and experience a slickness rather than empty space.

Oh well we all got to live

Those are tree frogs. I hope there are no giant toads in the area, if so they toxin very posinous? I thought I seen one under street light, but my toad ID not too good!

We are down in South Florida and the Bufo toads have returned. They are very large -- weighing up to 2 lbs -- they secrete toxins from glands behind their eyes that can kill a dog or cat if left untreated. All night long, they serenade other toads with their "songs."

I haven't seen any around here....yet... but the article in the Daily Sun said they are making their way to central Fla. I hate to hear this since we were invaded with them in S. Florida. My brothers Doberman nearly died from one.
