[darrel]

Hello, my name is darrel and I was invited here from a mutual friend.
I have visited this site before and have gotten pretty good info from it, Thank you. I have the following critters: 2 north american tree frogs, 2 anoleis (I call them the geico geco), 2 fire belly toads, a whites tree frog and then we just got a baby Iguana. we tried a baby pac man and a red rubber tree frog but sadly they passed. I think that they had some shock still from shipping to the pet store.

Welcome aboard. Just curious, what exactly is a North American treefrog? We have several species native to this continent. Are they Hyla cinerea or Hyla versicolor or Hyla gratiosa? Green treefrogs, Hyla cinerea are green with have a white stripe on each side, but not always. Gray treefrogs, Hyla versicolor are generally gray with a pattern that resembles tree bark. They also have the ability to change color, from gray to green to white or to brown. Barking treefrogs, Hyla gratiosa are green like H. cinerea but have a textured skin and generally have brown spots on the back. Those are the three most common native species in the pet trade.

It is a green tree frog like jodi has on her arm, the pet store here called it a north american.

Thanks for the information. The term North American treefrog is way to broad of a term. There is a pic of mine in my profile. Mine lacks the stripe.

Thank you, I have only been in to the frogs for about a year so I don't know that much.

I was thinking he looked like the woods tree frog, my bust.
