My co-worker found a tree frog on a plant at work and gave it to me to take care of. Just wondering if anyone can identify what type of tree frog it is.. I thought it was a Gray, but it doesn't have the markings under the eyes that Gray tree frogs typically have..
You're in Connecticut? Here's a list of locals ctamphibians and your frog doesn't appear to be one of them.
Was this on a plant that was shipped to your workplace? If so, do you know where the shipment came from? Florida is a pretty standard origin if we're talking houseplants, you can see Floridas frogs here Florida Wildlife Extension at UF/IFAS
Given the large looking toepads, I'm going to suggest a Cuban as a possible candidate Florida Wildlife Extension at UF/IFAS check out the part about how the skin is fused to the top of the skull as a characteristic to look for.
Looks like a Cuban Tree Frog to me.![]()
Looks like a cuban to me! Guess you have a new pet. They're invasive and cannot be released into the wild. I'm glad you decided to take him

And, for the win, I concur with everyone else that it is a cuban tree frog.
Most definitely not a CT tree frog!

Hmmmm....
I havent used those field characteristics before. I should start looking for those.
I usually go by the presence or absence of a polo shirt. Everyone knows you can't be from CT without a polo shirt!
thanks people. yea, he was on a plant shipped into our store, but im not sure where from. after looking at other pictures, it does look like a cuban. figured it was a bad idea to release him into the wild, which is why i took him home. and now hes gunna have a long, happy, froggy life. = D
Yay! i just recently got one from my local plant shop.. he was a hitchhiker on a ficus 'benjamina'. the owner knows me as the frog guy, so when i was in there last, she asked if i wanted him and i couldn't say no. Now i have Fidel....lol good luck with the little one![]()
