yes my frog is a white lipped tree frog. Is there a difference between the ways you can play with him?

Regardless of species you really should not "play" with them at all. Treat all tree frogs as display animals i.e. "look but don't touch." Frog skin is very sensitive to temperature, humidity and textural changes. That sensitivity also leaves them open to all kinds of infectious agents, a lot of which can come from your hands. Many of them also get stressed easily. If you have to hold them, wear powder-free latex gloves. White's tree frogs also generally tolerate contact better than white lipped. I believe the latter secretes a mild toxin when aggravated. Please resist the understandable urge to play with them - it's better for the animal.
