Tadpole of a Gray Tree Frog Adult Gray Tree Frog Gray tree frogs are medium-sized frogs, growing up to 1 to 2 inches in length. These frogs are usually a light green color or have a brownish tint, but when they are in a low temperature, they turn a grayish color. Their skin is very rough. They also have blotches on their backs, white stomachs, and a white spot under both their eyes. Gray tree frogs make a loud chirping sound to attract their mates. You can find gray tree frogs all over the eastern coast of the United States and in a small area in California. They like to live in habitats like moist woodlands. They also love swamps and nearby shrubs. On average, Gray Tree Frogs live for around 7 years. Insects are their primary diet; they eat a wide variety, including houseflies, crickets, moths and other soft-bodied insects. They are usually nocturnal, yet if there are crickets chirping or other "food" disturbing their sleep, they will remain awake and hunt. Gray tree frogs also have the amazing ability to stick to vertical surfaces. They use their toes and bodies as suction cups. They are often seen sticking to the trees in wooded areas. As with all tree frogs, Gray Tree Frogs can stick to most everything. It is not unusual for them to be seen climbing the glass of their enclosures, or even sleeping stuck to the sides of their cages. They can also hang upside down from the screens, which cover their cages, so care should be taken when opening their tanks. It has been reported that this frog responds well to hand feeding. This makes them easier to move because they are more used to their keepers. Their eggs (the ones I've seen) are about the size and shape of sesame seeds. Their color fades from tan at the large end to brown to black at the small end and they are tightly bundled in a clear jelly like substance.
