Name this amphibian.

Found this little fella hidden inside my satellite dish...

 

Any idea as to what species of toad this is?

not a toad , it's a tree frog

[Brettiop]

Yupp, that's a gray tree frog, I've seen many in the area and used to be a favorite of mine to find when i was a little kid

 

Sometimes they get a little green to them, pretty cool animals

[Gerritt]

So that's the little sucker keeping me up at night! Thanks fellas, luckily he found another place to hide out

Yes they make quite the racket. I have several in and around my back yard. My favorite frog for sure..

[adolson]

I think you should name him Jeffery.

[BillM]

Gerritt, I think it might be an Atlantic.

LMAO Some have to remember this oldie.

I have also been seeing a lot of them this year. Sometimes in the strangest places.

One of those pissed in my 3 year olds eye a couple months ago. He said he could't see/eyes were red and foaming from the mouth, my wife called poison control and they said they will give those effects but harmless anyways, its more a defence for animals that try to eat them, they pee in there mouth get a nasty taste and start foaming. Notice dogs only try it once haha Seems there are some deadly ones in South america.

Kid still grabs every toad/frog he sees

Yeah if you're stranded in the bush, you can dip makeshift spears in the frog's mouth to make deadly poisonous weapons. Kill a buck in an instant. The mouth foam can be used as shampoo.

 

Totally just made that up, hopefully it sounded cool.
