Was thinking about making a frog bog but no need by the sounds of it they are all pretty happy little froggies Yep I have heard LOTS of Spotted Marsh Frogs (Lymnodynasties Tasmeniensis) out your way. They like to live in thick grass where it is moist... not necessarily in water. Unfortunately they often get killed by motor mowers. They are one of very few frog species in Victoria which can be kept without a Protected Wildlife License. Seems a bit odd, as they are still protected and it is illegal to remove them from the environment. I can't justify spending $35 on one in a pet store when most people have them in their back-yards! Hope they hang around your place after you move in. Speaking of which..... any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuralPug Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 More than once I have accidentally speared one on the garden fork. RIP froggy. I also get the little tiny brown ones (size of 5 cents) they come out of the kitchen tap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely Lymnodynastes Dumerilii. Often called the Banjo frog or Eastern Banjo. There are any number of species it could be, but these are very common and often found.

Dunno what they could be... going by the size they would either be the Common Froglet or immature Southern Brown Tree Frogs. Both are plentiful out your neck of the woods. Would LOVE a pic next time you find one in your tea! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RP i get those little brown ones here, i find them swimming in my pots out the front , they seem to have a pattern of sorts down their back in a very pale lemon colour ??...JJ, Banjo frogs sounds familiar, they made an absolute racket at night around the Dam mostly but seemed to be everywhere if it was the same ones ???

jerojath Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) For anyone interested, HERE is a link to the most common frogs of this area. If you click on the "detailed field guide" you can scroll down and click on their calls. This may help you identify the frogs you see and hear in your backyards.

Tenties Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thank's for that link JJ, twas very interesting...i think i have found my little frogs who swim in my pots... Litoria ewingi...... as for the other one i know it wasnt half as cute as the little fellas, it was black in colour and seemed very fat ( not unlike me now ) it was horrible digging these guy's up and sometimes chopping them in half or the dogs grabbing them and running, i have always wondered how in hell they got so far down in the ground, i never saw them burrow or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litoria Ewingi (or Southern Brown Tree Frog, or Ewings Frog) are my 2nd favorite frog. Until very recently I had kept them for nearly 20 years.

tlc Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 funny JJ! Was it cold this morning, I'm still cuddled up in bed surrounded by doggies, won't be going far today with my toe but I'm happy to say it's been pretty good, slept ok, not to much pain. There was initially when the block wore off but it seemed to ease, as long as I keep it up. Quiet few days for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some mowing to do today at work and I think all I did was take the ice off the surface! There was frost sitting on the grass still after lunch time. Gonna stuff a hot-pack down the front of my jocks tomorrow morning! Glad you have had the "procedure". Here's wishing you a speedy recovery.... even if just so the Spoods don't go completely bananas!
