    Hello and welcome to FF ! Frog in picture looks like Hyla arborea, the European Tree Frog. Did you collected frog in the field or obtained it in market?
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Thanks, No it definitely wont be a European frog. It's a Southern Africa frog from the Zimbabwe Highlands. Please keep the suggestions coming though as I cant find any info on him. Many thanks

    Found him in the bush (Marondera, Zimbabwe) and released him in my garden which is a frog paradise

    Lithobates vibicarius is found in Central America.

    Tried researching your frog but sorry i had no luck. Hopefully Daniel or someone else knows the right ID

    Welcome aboard, though!

    Thanks everyone for your input. I sent the photos to Breda Zimkus of African amphibians lifedesk. I got a reply pretty quickly. She suggests its a Leptopelis sp.. likely a Bocagii or commonly called a Bocage's Tree Frog. As it was only about 2 cm and has a very green back I'm assuming, if it is a Bocage's, that it is a juvenile. Thanx again
