Baby frog = tadpole. It could be a juvenile frog though.
Well, baby frogs are technically tadpoles, so this chap is at least on the road to adulthood…
Well, technically it’s a very small adult, as “baby” frogs are tadpoles. But he’s definately a teeny species!
looks like a spring peeper to me!
is it wrong that i kinda want to eat him. maybe put him on a stick and dip him in chocolate? i mean, who wouldn’t wanna froggy pop?
XD
everyone who isn’t trolling
Adorable! Could be an African Pygmy frog – we had two full-grown – and they were about the same size as the one pictured – they’re REALLY tiny!
The location is the Tampa Bay area of FL, in case that helps any frog-knowers to determine what species it might be, and whether it’s a full-grown frog of a tiny species, or a very young frog of a larger species.
It’s a Greenhouse Frog, not native to FL.

Is it just me or has this been posted 6 times already?
Looks like a Cricket frog or Spring peeper. An adult of the genus Acris. They are always pretty tiny. Largest ones are only about 1 inch long.
It could be a coqui which is a tree frog from Puerto Rico. They make a distinctive chirping noise at night. The closest thing I can relate it to is crickets chirping in the summer.
This is the very rare frog to be born live, not in tadpole form. :3
…you know it’s actually called a cane toad…they kill loads of animals in Australia every year and are a pest….baby frogs are tadpoles…this is poison…
This is a freshly metamorphed Cricket Frog (Acris sp.)
I still think it’s a coqui…look at this picture…

Its a Pseudacris crucifer (spring peeper), specifically the P. crucifer bartramiana subspecies. Found in Georgia and Florida. You can see the fait “X” patern on the back in a slightly darker pigment. This one is likely a newly morphed juvenile. (I helped out a colleague do a study in vet school on geographical variants of song styles of the P. crucifer subspecies on the east coast)
It,s a peeper. It’s full grown and it’s a toad.
It is indeed a Pseudacris crucifer, the spring peeper. A treefrog, not a toad. A toad is a different kind of amphibian.
Aww, it’s a Spring Peeper! I love these little guys! They live in all of the swampy places near my house, and man can they get loud. I love to hear them though, cause it means spring is here!
