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

They like hiding behind the shutters during the day time!!! Don't like when they leave their poop on side of house. Yuk!!!

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.
