    Default Can you help me ID this tree frog

    I need help identifying this frog. He's on the small size, less that an inch. Found in SW Florida.

    Thanks!

    Likely an introduced species. Doesn't look like any native I know of.

    I dont know what species it is, but I couldn't find it in the list of tree frogs in Florida Florida Wildlife Extension at UF/IFAS

    I was thinking it could just be a very odd variation of a green tree frog? Or maybe it doesn't have the yellow layer of pigment, because I know when that happens with Whites they are purple/blue
    Im not sure if you can see but it has an explanation there too.


    Though I could be completely wrong. Anyway good luck! It has a gorgeous colour!

    Thanks everyone! Maybe it is an odd version of a Green Tree Frog...?

    I don't think it's a green treefrog. That stripe it has is pretty distinct.

    How about a Squirrel Tree Frog? Someone suggest that maybe that's what it is. I looked at pictures and they come in many colors. What do all you experts think? Thanks!

    This frog is really pretty.
    It is wild caught ?
    I poured over tons of photos!
    I don't see anything like it.
    The stripe location/color , and the bright yellow lips .......just don't look like a green tree frog.
    The stripe breaks differently as well ? This frog's stripes starts behind the eye. A green's runs below the eye .

    PLUS. It's has red eyes!
    Almost looks like a red eye crossbreed ? eg A callidryas and A anne?

    Hello, I am unable to identify this frog for you unfortunately but I did post a pic, of what I believe to be the same type of frog. Hopefully seeing another picture will help with you identify it. I wish you the best of luck.

    Glad to hear it! I often wonder about our members who have gone missing for a spell. It was refreshing to see your handle pop up in the feed

    This is a very old 2012 thread and the frog was ID as a juvenile Cuban frog. Hi Lisa! Good to see you here again !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
