    Default Zebra frog? mystery

    I recently went to the pet store and found this frog labeled as a wtf. I knew right away this was not labeled correctly if anyone could give feedback on what type of frog this actually is, any information would be greatly appreciated. It would be horrible for someone to take this frog home and not know how to care for it properly Througn doing searches online i was not able to find anything, not a single picture of this frog or anything that looks similar.
    Thanks Dan.

    Hmmmm... I have never seen a frog like this one. Froglets sometimes will look completely different than their adult counterpart. I am of no help here but if you can raise it maybe its true pattern will show? I know it's had to provide proper care when you don't even know what species it is. Hopefully someone on here have seen or can recognize this frog. Good luck!

    It sure is pretty. If no one manages to ID it, it might help to find out where it originated from. I'd contact the pet store and find the name of their supplier and so on down the line.

    Good luck and please keep us posted if you have success!

    very pretty! no idea what that is, but gut feelings says you scored high on that one. It is for sure a tree frog, so for now I'd house it as such, vivarium, humidity, plants, branches, UVB, food size accordingly, ca, multivitamins. I'd email pic to universities, herpetologists, etc. that frog is very rare one as it seems. and for sure try to find origin through pet store.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
