Can anyone help me identify this from?

Hello! I joined so I could learn more about this little frog.
I apologize for the bad photo, but this is the only decent picture I have of him. I'm at work and I'm supposed to be manning a cash register

Okay, so I work at Lowe's and at 6 this morning I found this little guy hopping around by the wood piles in the lumber center, of all places. He was covered in dust and debris and his skin was nearly dry, so I think he'd been hopping around all night. The lumber center is adjacent to the garden center, and since I know this frog is not native to Colorado (I'm in the Denver area), I'm guessing he came in with a shipment of plants from Florida and has been hopping around here all night, poor thing.

Initially I put him outside because I didn't know what else to do, but as a vegan and animal lover I could not stop worrying for his safety... So I grabbed him again and now he's in a Lowe's bucket with shallow water at the bottom and rocks to perch on if he pleases, but he's just hanging out on the side of the bucket. That's the best I can do for him right now.

It's 7:16 and I don't get off til 3, and I plan to take him to my local reptile center after work, but can anyone help me in the meantime? Is he a Northern Spring Peeper? Thank you so much!

Can't tell for sure. Not a spring peeper because he lacks the "X" on his back. I think that he is defintely a member of the Pseudocris genus though
edit: think it might be a pacific chorus frog (psuedocris regilla) and Welcome to the forum!

I think you're right! That's exactly what he looks like. Thank you so much! I'll be looking up more information about him when my manager isn't looking.

These little guys are notorious for hitching rides across the states! There's a lot of good information about them on here and they're pretty easy to keep, plus they're one of the few frogs that actually "ribbit"

Do you have a side view? Boreal/Western chorus frogs are native to Colorado.

Hi Deja,

Definitely a chorus frog.

I'm leaning towards Western Chorus Frog at the moment.

All the best...
