Saved a treefrog today

How cute is she/he. Looks really healthy as well. Well done.

Thanks

When I first found it it was about half the size it is now so it's recovering quite well.

What a beautiful shade of green! What are you going to do with your new little friend?

Nice looking frog. Have you released it, or are you keeping it

Thanks

I might just keep it since I almost bought a few gray tree frogs last weekend at the show but decided to go with the pacman instead.

I was a bit thrown by this initially. Using my moderator powers, I was able to discover what state you're from. Assuming that's a native frog, it has to be a Gray Tree Frog, but its markings are unusual (not the color, the markings).

I'm pretty sure it's a native specie. BTW it is still quite small, maybe I take a few pix of it next to a penny for size reference later.

Here's a picture I just took. After picture was taken it jumped out as I was reaching in to take out the penny. Good thing it didn't have a far fall.



BTW it is eating great. Didn't feed it much, just two crickets yesterday and two today.

Sorry would just add this to my other post but can't edit it.


After a little research I believe it's a Cope's gray tree frog. Cope's gray tree frogs have smooth skin while Grays are rough.

I really don;t think this is a gray treefrog. I believe it to be the federally protected Hyla andersonii or pine barrens treefrog.

Thanks for picture, very beautiful frog. The thing is I live in Minnesota and we don't have those frogs here. Pine barrens treefrog have white border strip on the side and frog I saved doesn't.

Here's list of anurans we have here.
