I found a Green Tree Frog

[Chel]

Well a few minutes ago I was in my backyard when I saw something climbing up the slide. I walked over and picked it up and guess what?!? It just happened to be a green tree frog. Are they even native in Ohio or is it safe to assume it was let loose by someone?

[John]

Nope, no Hyla cinerea in Ohio. Probably a Gray Tree Frog in green mode.

Can you take a picture or did you let it go?

[Chel]

Yeah I will take a picture of it. I have it in a critter keeper. Im almost 100% sure its a green tree frog though.

Well my actual camera is dead so I tried taking a pic with my phone. It's brown at the moment but it has the stripe like a green tree frog.

you linked the image from your email account. Can't see it

[Chel]

Lol...oops..my bad.. here let me fix that....

It appears to have the right shape for Hyla cinerea, but the picture is too dark to make a positive ID. Can you take another picture in brighter light?

And John is right, H. cinerea is not native to the great state of Ohio.

Ooh hmm nice rescue then.

[Chel]

I will try and take a better picture today.
