I found this cute little fella in one of our planters this evening.
I was walking down behind the villas on my way to turn the outside lights on and happen to glance at something that was on one of the planters. I took a second look and saw that it was a frog. We didn’t think we had any frogs on the property but now we know we do.
This tree frog was a beautiful green colour with some black markings.
I yelled for Barry and he came running thinking something was wrong. He managed to catch the small tree frog just so I could take some photos of it.
Note the suction cup like feet that allows them to climb trees or the walls of our tiki hut.
The tree frog I found had large discs at the end of its toes which were like sticky pads and he had a very strong grip said Barry. These discs help the frogs grip while climbing and allow them to climb vertically on virtually anything. When we let him go, he climbed up the wall and pillar to under the eaves of the gazebo.
This little tree frog clamped down on Barry's arm with his suction cup toes.
Good shot of the suction cup like toes gripping the wall of the tiki hut.
He was soooooo cute!!!
