    Default Help Identifying this fella. Please and Thank you.

    I adopted a cute frog from Petco, but no one remembered what kind of frog it happened to be. Was wondering if anyone could give me maybe some idea?Name:  IMG_7678.jpg

    One thread is enough. I'm not at all certain, but I'm taking a wild guess at cuban tree frog. Could be entirely wrong.

    I'm about 95% sure that's a Cuban. One way to check is to rub the skin on top of it's head. If the skin moves relative to the underlying skull (like yours does), it's not a Cuban. If the skin is anchored rigidly to the skull (like in a toad or alligator), it's probably a Cuban (I can't think of many other Osteopilus species in common pet trade in the US).

    It looks like a Cuban to me too. But......how can you purchase an animal and then forget what it is?? That doesn't sound like a very responsible owner to me........

    I'm sorry! I misread what you had typed. The people at the pet store I can see that happening! I think I have to agree, though that you have yourself a Cuban Tree Frog. :3

    Just be aware they have toxic/irritating skin secretions, so make sure to wash your hands after handling him.

    What State do you live in? I think this could also be a Hyla Versicolor, Eastern Gray Treefrog. Does it have any yellow on the underparts of the back legs?

    Already noted about the their skin. After Handling him I go scurb with some soap. Thanks though. ^^

    I live in Louisiana. But I don't know if the people had bought him from some where or caught him outside. Not to sure about if it has yellow on the underparts of his legs or not.

    This is most definitely not a grey tree frog. I'd go with cuban, as well.
