I think Horton was right about it looking like a Leopard Frog - they look like the Southern Leopard Frogs, and the website below has a GREAT picture of them. Also mentions a possible subspecies, Florida Leopard Frog. The website even has some sound files, too! Maybe that will help. Good luck ~ they're PRETTY little frogs!! Maybe one of them ate a Prince ;) Here is a link that might be useful: University of Florida's Wildlife Extension Frog Lookup

Hardin, try the link below for lots of photographs of Northern Cricket Frogs. They are kind of rough-skinned and it makes them look like young toads. "Horton" Here is a link that might be useful: Northern Cricket Frog photographs

I had a big frog of that size for 2-3 years in my little 200 gallon pond. He never bothered the fish, except when he'd take down a bird too big for him to eat and I'd have to fish the bird out of the pond. Trust me, he was eating these birds. I found him with a baby in his mouth once, and one time I found a dead bird I placed it next to the pond. Next morning the bird was back in the water. Only critter that would do that was the froggie. My frog wandered off this spring, my neighbors saw him on their deck. Took pictures and wondered where he came from. Wish he'd wander back. I have another frog in my pond but I very rarely see him, he hides under my bridge so when I do maintenance I see him hop away.

No problem - glad I could help. These guys probably wouldn't be affected by the presence of Cubans as they are terrestrial and subterranean, so intraspecific encounters wouldn't be common enough to affect their populations (but who knows...these things are complex...I sense a research project..haha). You might be able to collect the cubans and sell them to biology supply warehouses (Carolina Bio or Wards) - it'd be better for them to use those for classroom dissections than native leopard frogs which usually get the brunt of it. Since they are a nonnative, invasive species I don't think there should be regulations against it, but you might want to check. I don't know if it'd do anything to their populations but perhaps if you kept removing them from your property it would allow other species a small refuge from them. This is a perfect example of why I'm so adamant against people posting threads on here asking others to send them frogs and tadpoles for their ponds - just one nonnative species can cripple your local ecosystem. ~Mike
