lol you know your tadpoles because they are amazing climbers as soon as they sprout legs
Could be grey trees...I have a new crop of Cuban tree tads growing right now and they look pretty similar.

I got a few white/albino tadpoles this year. I was reading someone else's post how easily the albino die and last year had couple albino GTF tads all died.
This yr have albino/white CTF tads which seem to be thriving. I read not uncommon as far as CTF go.
Wow that is really cool...mine appear to be all black, they are in a 40G rubbermaid tote and really growing well. If any of the albinos manage to make it to adulthood please post some pics.

With all black tads (reg color) you can still get green CTF . I got a few last year. I don't know this year as just want them gone lol.
That tadpole bin is filthy just disgusting . Even with all this rain.
I imagine yours are sprouting legs and leaving now?. Mine are leaving but the albinos which I have in containers in my screened patio have yet to sprout legs.
cool pics, I second the albino pics if you can get them, do they have red eyes has adults?
I had trouble getting four of my sons tadpoles to eat, and they starved to death (the four that were delveloping the fastest, guess their metabolism was through the roof beacuse it was only three days in, they became all head and limbs), three more where on the way till I put in my pleco's left over zuccini skin, they all seemed to go crazy for it. Two of the five I have left have eaten everything I have offered, from blood worms to pellets to rotting leaves, those two have yet to develop any legs and are so fat its funny to watch them swim.
I have rearranged the tank to half water half land the water depth only being about 2" lots of rocks, sand, and leaves creating a canopy, and have planted some seeds in the sandy area to help keep it clean. I would concure that they seem to be tree frogs I have one almost fully developed guy (just has a little tail left) who hangs out on the glass most of they day, and walks vertically up any surface with such ease, that I assuming thats the species. I am going to try some flightless fruit flies on him today.
Does anyone know what their adult size is, this is my son's first tank, and he definately wants to add a newt when they come out in the spring, would they be a meal if one was added? Also anyone know if they are noisy? I am a very lite sleeper and used to only urban noises (i.e. I can sleep through police sirens, but will wake up to a cricket)

One is white with black eyes thats the one in pic other 2 are a see through type white with red eyes . I have had albino before and all died when sprouting legs.
Gray trees IMO are one of the prettiest of the native tree frogs your son and you will both enjoy them. Fruit flies are a great idea .
I dont think they will call for a year or two . I wouldn't add the newt because both tree frogs and esp newts could secrete something that will kill the other.
Male tree frogs can be annoying . I find a fan drowns out the noise. We have Cuban tree frogs by side of yard- green tree frogs in back yard and diff types of toads in front yard esp now during rainy season.
I purchased one of those 7 feet high 4 feet wide hardware type fans lol kidding . I did get a 2 foot radius fan and it drowns out the noise.

great now I'm going to have to make space in my apartment for an industrial sized fan 
I will move them to a different cage (thinking maybe I'll mesh my cockatil's cage since he flew away, or maybe I will partially cage the lower half of my tree and put them in there) and then use the tank for the newt.

Mine are leaving fairly fast with tails still attached. could be the unreal daily down pours as everything is wet and they feel comfortable?.
Peacock and knight anoles in yard eats them but most make it.
The CTF are still mating but after this batch that vile water gets dumped .

I have never kept tree frogs but would think that if your going to place mesh on cage your going to need to mist a lot and might as well add pothos,easy to grow plants planted in pots which dont mind staying wet .This way you can mist several times a day as tree frogs need humidity.
Some tree frogs seem to laugh at dry situations and sick heat like cuban tree frogs but think Grays need much more humidity.
Thats why tanks are great for them. Your 10 gallon tank should be fine esp since they are tiny now .
Worse case should last min a year .
