Can you help me ID this tree frog

[DonLisk]

After pouring through tons of photos, I can't put an ID to this either.

If Kurt catches this thread I'm sure he will know.


Beautiful frog and photo.

Pretty sure it's a young Cuban Tree Frog, Osteopilus septentrionalis.

Lynn pm'ed to take a look at the topic, but i see John already gave the answer i got in mind seeing the picture as well.
So I second John.

However i've only seen them with bright green stripes, where they are looking blueish here.
But the eye coloration and placing of the stripes makes me think of O.septentrionalis as well.
Over time they will change coloration.

Perhaps if you can catch it, you can see if you are able to see blue bones on the ventral side of the hind legs.

Well, that's a bummer. I was wishing so much more for this cute little guy... Cuban Tree Frogs carry such a bad rap. He's out living his life in the wilds of Florida and I wish him the best!

Thanks everyone!!

Cuban treefrogs make great pets, you should have kept him. Oh well.

Actually, I had a pair that lived for a few years in my Orchid water bucket. I was told by many that I should kill them because of the type of species they were. But I didn't and enjoyed their stay. In fact, I searched for them often to make sure they were still around.

Adding a picture of my past friend. They brought in all the little water plants too. And I left the plants there for the frogs.. So in truth, my orchid water bucket became my Frog's water bucket...
