I love these guys - they are so loud hehe. They are all over the place here in Texas.

Ever come across any like mine, no stripes?

This is a fairly typical one from where I herp in East Texas:

nice. are the solid green ones black eyed leaf frogs or maybe white lipped leaf frogs?

[Kurt]

The solid green ones, like mine, are green treefrogs, Hyla cinerea. pic below. If you look in the Peterson field guide for Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern North America you will see both striped and non-striped gtf's in one of the ID plates.


White-lipped treefrogs, Litoria infrafrenata superficially look like Hyla cinerea, but if you look carefully you will see the differences. What stands out to me is L. infrafrenata's sides are textured and of course it gets much bigger that Hyla cinerea. See pic above.

By black-eyed leaf frog, I assume you mean Agalychnis morelettii. I have never kept them, but I do keep A. callidryas, and they are very different than Hyla cinerea. They are much thinner in build and are extremely nocturnal. The skull is a little bit wider as well.
