How can you attract tree frogs to your yard in Arkansas?

To bring tree frogs to your yard, provide water sources like a small pond or birdbath. Plant native shrubs and trees for cover. Avoid pesticides, as frogs absorb chemicals through their skin. Leaving leaf litter and logs gives them hiding spots. Also, install a night light near a water feature to attract insects, which frogs eat.

Are tree frogs in Arkansas poisonous?

Most Arkansas tree frogs are not poisonous to humans. They secrete mild skin toxins that can cause irritation if you touch your eyes or mouth. Always wash your hands after handling. Some species like the gray tree frog can change color for camouflage, but they are harmless.
