Thread: Treefrog classification

    Default Treefrog classification

    I have some tree frogs that were tadpoles when I lived in Florida but I now live in Long Island and they are now tree frogs but I don't know what kind they are? They aren't native to where I live now I guess so i'm not planning to release them but I have about 7 or 8. i got them from a friend who found the tadpoles on his pool cover so he gave them to me. Does anyone have a guess?

    It wont allow me to upload photos so here is the link to photo bucket

    I don't know, but I'd look up both American Green Tree Frogs and Cuban Tree Frogs. It could be a Cuban with very little patterning on it's skin.

    I do see a hint of a white stripe down the sides though so they could be Hyla Cinerea... Dunno.

    I'm betting on Cuban myself, but don't quote me on that. Now that you have these guys in captivity, and particularly since you have moved, you cannot release these guys into the wild.

    The third picture that you can see without a link is a Cuban tree frog. Also, compare the toe pads to other tree-froglets, because Cubans have large toe pads compared to other frogs
