[Parisporterfield]

Hi there! When you are replying to this thread there will be a little little icon that looks like a tree inside a box, click it to insert an image (hover over the icons until you find the one with the pop up box saying 'Insert Image'). It will let you upload an image from your computer or link to an image already on the internet somewhere.

In the meantime, your album says you found the frog in South Carolina? Here's a list of frogs native to that area you can compare with Frogs and Toads of South Carolina and Georgia | SREL Herpetology

Hello and welcome to FF

This is my green frog do anyone know what type of frog this is

[UncleChester]

It's one of the treefrogs, look at all the ones from the genus Hyla in the link about the state frogs. It doesn't have the white stripe on the side, so it's probably not H. cinerea, I can't see a square spot under the eye, so it's probably not H. chrysoscelis or H. avivoca, no black mask should rule out H. andersonii.

That leaves these three more likely candidates:

Species Profile: Barking Treefrog (Hyla gratiosa) | SREL Herpetology
Species Profile: Pine Woods Treefrog (Hyla femoralis) | SREL Herpetology
Species Profile: Squirrel Treefrog (Hyla squirella) | SREL Herpetology

It doesn't look pudgy enough or have the usual patterns of the Barking Treefrog (though they can vary considerably), so you can probably rule it out (from it's size it would also have to be a juvenile Barking Treefrog).

That leaves the Pine Woods and Squirrel. You can tell them apart by looking under the thighs for orangey/yellowish flash colours. The Pine Woods have them, the Squirrel doesn't. See the link for the Pine Woods for a picture of this.
