Finally!!! I thought maybe your girls nite out had done you in! Those frogs look huge, probably were gorging on mosquitoes while living in your skimmer.I'm having a very good week and hope yours is going well too!
Those are toads, but I'm not sure what kind. Is this in Florida or Montana?
Did you name them? Or, did you kiss them and find a prince or two??
Wow KarenSue, that's wild! Love it!
Oh my gosh...just hanging out? Glad they're ok!
OK, I've identified your toads. (I know you were probably losing sleep wondering what kind of toad was in your pool!):-)They are Southern Toads, Bufo terrestris. Here are some links...http://www.wildflorida.com/wildlife/frogs/Southern_Toad.phphttp://fl.biology.usgs.gov/herps/Frogs_and_Toads/B_terrestris/b_terrestris.htmlThis is their breeding season. Toads seek water to reproduce. And that's exactly what it looks like the two in the back have in mind!
I would have freaked out. Seriously! After I quit laughing!
