Grey Tree Frogs can be found in brown, grey or even green with darker or black spots and can change colours based on light and temperature. Their bellies are a bright yellow so they look poisonous if their camouflage fails. These little frogs are really sticky and have suction cup like toes. These little frogs also make some cool chirps and sounds as well.

First off, Eastern Hog Nose Snakes are non venomous. Its hognose is pointed upwards helping it bury itself under leaf litter and to dig burrows. This reptiles defence mechanism is outstanding. It has a hood similar to a cobra, and the snake will flatten itself out to make it look larger. The Eastern Hognose snake also 'rattles' like a rattlesnake and strikes like one to also detour predators. Although its mouth is closed when striking and there is no rattle at the end of its tail. If non of those work, the hognose will actually play dead. Again, this snake is non venomous. If you ever encounter one please let it be and keep on with your adventure.
