    Default Identify this tree frog....

    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 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
