Tree Frogs

Tree frogs like to come out when it rains. They like to stay in damp places. They will change colors depending on what colors are around them. They have sticky pads on their feet, kind of like suction cups. These frogs will eat ants and other small insects. Amphibians can drink water through their skin.

Wood Lizard

Wood lizards move very quickly. You can find them around logs and dry places. I found this one sitting on a rotting log in the sun. These lizards eat crickets, worms, and other small bugs. You can tell a male from a female because males have dark blue on their bellies and the females have very light blue on their bellies.

Toad

This is a toad. You can tell a toad from a frog by their skin. Toads have bumps on their skin and frogs are smooth. Toads eat insects like crickets, beetles, flies, and ants. They can't hop as far as bullfrogs.

Baby Ring Snake

This ring snake is a little smaller than the one in my previous ring snake post. My 5-year-old little sister was excited to find this one under a rock. One day she might be a good snake hunter, too.
