Hiya,

I don't know anything about Aussie frogs, so I thought I'd post these of a little guy I rescued from the rubbish bin when I was camping around Mt Barney, northern NSW, over Easter. Anyone know what he is?

Cheers!

Yeah they are great little frogs, I want to get some but not many people keep them.
Great pics by the way.

I'm fortunate enough to have a few of them living in my front yard, so I get to see them quite regularly.
At night they'll leave their resting place (usually the steel tubes holding up my front gate) & will turn up in various spots around the yard, although one of the faves is on the veradah. We have a number of plants up there (including bromeliads with water in them) so there's a bit of protection/cover, also the light filtering through the front window attracts plenty of moths etc.

It's amazing the colour variance you get with Peron's. The one you found has quite a yellowish background colour.

Here's a couple of ours (pics have been posted before)

Wow - love the two in pipe. You're right the colours are massively different. I'll have to keep my eye out for a few more, but I have to say, frogs are few and far between in many suburbs in Bris these days - but the geckos are taking over!

:lol: They are cute frogs indeed!!

I rescued these out of a 60+ degree tin roof! They just loved this bucket in the shade with fresh tank water and stayed there til nightfall

If they are a reputable breeder then yes, unfortunately there is a few around but most are poached or off license

Thanks Gex
