The Frog of the Week is the Pine Barrens Tree Frog (Hyla andersonii) from the USA. The Pine Barrens Tree Frog is unusual because they like to lay their eggs in acidic ponds. #FrogFriday

Hurricanes really get the amphibians and reptiles moving around, like this two-toed #Amphiuma captured around some ephemeral pools #HerpMapper #HuricaneMichael

@WhatTheHerp here is a better picture of the snake.

[Go Happy Herping @GoHappyHerping]

@WhatTheHerp can you identify this snake?

The frog of the week is the Pickeral Frog (Lithobates palustris) from the eastern US and southeastern Canada. They are easily identified by the rectangles on their back.

The Frog of the Week is the Plains Spadefoot Toad (Spea bombifrons). Like all Spadefoot Toads, the Plains Spadefoot Toad has keratonized "spades" on their rear feet to help them burrow.

I apologize to all the lovely toads out there for any misunderstanding. I know I often say I love #frogs without mentioning #toads but please remember that all toads ARE frogs! (But not all frogs are toads). Thanks for listening to my #amphibian PSA! #scientistswhoselfie #scicomm

The Other Amphibian of the Week is the Gulf Coast Waterdog (Necturus beyeri)! It is found in the southeastern United States. Like Waterdogs and Mudpuppies, the Gulf Coast Waterdog keeps its gills into adulthood.

Isla the #leatherback #seaturtle has stopped moving south and is now about 65 miles off Kitty Hawk North Carolina in 120 ft water. She will be experiencing high surf for the next 48 hours.
Please be safe out there! #HurricaneFlorence @windyforecast

The Other Amphibian of the Week is the Ensatina Salamander (Ensatina eschscholtzii). The Ensatina is actually composed of a complex of 7 different subspecies. They are found along the west coast of North America. #SalamanderSaturday

This leopard frog has apparently been making a good living in my backyard! What a lil chunko 😁

@WhatTheHerp #HerpID Taken in Dallas County, Alabama. I’m trying to see the difference in the Squirrel Treefrog and Green Treefrog

[Go Happy Herping @GoHappyHerping]

@outofdoorstv Great shot! I always enjoy the hummingbird moths.

[Go Happy Herping @GoHappyHerping]

A black and yellow argiope spider has made its home next to my love bug-attracting chive blooms on my deck. And I thought it was a southern “banana” spider. #SpidersAreCoolToo
