Unknown tree frog

[John]

To me it is Hyla arborea. What's throwing you all is the colouration/pattern. This is likely some genetic quirk that prevented the green developing well. Very interesting specimen.

I am loving this frog....are you going to keep it?

[John]

I believe he can't - they are protected.

[Kurt]

If it is Hyla arborea and they are protected, is there not a clause that says you can keep mutants. In Massachusetts black rat snakes are protected, but you can keep them if they are some mutated form like an albino or white-sided.

Albinos are not created by chlorinating a pool, they are a genetic mutation.

That is one mutant I wouldnt mind having around!
