I just added another picture of the brown one. Its the last picture and shows more of their underside and chin than the eyes. Luckily these guys are very photogenic unlike some of my other pets and wildlife spottings-particularly fish.

Just learned a fun fact from wikipedia that I thought I would share:
The Australian tree frog is one of the most popular frog pet in the world.
Also, they eat mainly small insects and spiders but they can eat other frogs and even small mammals!!

Sure thing! They love sitting on their feet unless their jumping though! They may also change color, the darker one has different colored toes! I'll check them out! Those photos will be my goal for the day! :D
