So I’m enjoying a nice hot shower this morning.
I get the strange feeling that somebody is watching me. I look over and see this:
It’s a fuzzy picture, but yes that is an Oklahoma gray tree frog.
So… instead of screaming like a little girl and running through the house with shampoo in my hair, I very calmly and politely ask, “Could you pass the soap, please?” I finish my shower with this frog just sitting there being still hoping I don’t see him.
Kermit now lives in my front yard somewhere.

For about a week, I’ve been hearing a frog croaking from either inside my house or maybe underneath it.
I think I found the suspect today. (see video below). If I’m not mistaken this little fellow is a gray tree frog.
With a white spot under both eyes, a white belly and yellowish-orange markings on the inside of its hind legs, the gray tree frog is a handsome and exotic-looking amphibian. Closer examination reveals large adhesive pads on the end of its toes, which allow it to cling to vertical surfaces. But, certainly, this amphibian’s most curious feature is its ability to change colors much like the more-famous lizard with the same trait, the chameleon.
I think the description is dead on for this guy. He’s still out there hanging on to the side of my house. Don’t know what he’s up to, but I hope he eats some mosquitoes tonight! Video after the jump. Read more…
