What kind of tree frog?

[robertsmick]

I got this baby frog from someone on Craigslist on Sunday, he (?) is very tiny, smaller than my thumbnail. All the girl selling them could tell me was that it was a "tree frog" about 2 months old. I'd like to know what kind of tree frog he is. Hopefully you can see the picture okay. Thanks in advance for any help!

P.S. he is in a 12"x12" ExoTerra glass terrarium, the kind with the 2 doors on the front, with a water dish containing just a bit of water on the bottom, and a silk terrarium plant. I am keeping humidity around 70%-75% and temperature at about 75-80 degrees F. Hopefully this is all about right for him.

It kind of looks like a Hyla meridionalis but I'm not too sure. Maybe not even a tree frog? Idk

Its so hard to tell. Hes so itty bitty!!! From what I can make out I would say yes, it is probably a tree frog because of the body shape, leg pose, and I think I see toe pads. While not 100% on this I would say hes build like a tree frog.

Is there any way you can get some pictures showing off his markings a bit better? Hes so little I can understand if this could be a problem. I think hes smaller then then bumble bee toads we have at work (and those things are dang TINY!).

I'd say for the time being your good with the small tank. If he starts to grow and he gets 2 inches or more it would probably be best to get him a larger tank. Make sure he is getting in and out of the water easily and that the water does not come over his head. This will probably be hard since hes so small. O.O And, stupid question but just gotta ask, your using declorinator right? If you can get some better pics of him IDing him will be much easier and then we could say if the humidity and temps are right. I'd say they are.

Were they wild caught or did the seller breed them herself (and if she did breed did she breed from native or none native frogs?).

I'll try to get some more detailed photos and post them. I'll have to wait until he's in a better spot in the terrarium because I don't want to try to pick him up due to his size (easily squished, I'm sure)! The photo I posted is from the girl who I bought him from, and the frog is on the finger tip of a 10-ish year old girl in that picture, so even tinier than it might look. He has very defined black spots down both sides, if that helps at all. Right now the 12-inch cube terrarium is HUGE for him! But I am prepared to upgrade as necessary. And yes, I am treating the water He was captive bred, but I don't know if the parents were or not. It was a young girl whose pet frogs had the babies and she and her dad didn't have much information for me. Thanks again!

Here is a different picture. Sorry for the poor quality, but I think you can see the markings and coloring a little better. Hopefully this helps!
