Probably Hyla cinerea (American Green Tree frog) but there's a chance it's Hyla squirella (Squirrel Tree frog) - does it ever change to a colour other than green? Welcome to the forum.

I am with you John, I think this may be a squirrel treefrog rather than a green treefrog. Here is a pic of my morbidly obese green treefrog. They do look quite different. David's frog's skin seems to have a more translucent quality to it. It kind of reminds me of my greater hatchet-faced treefrog.

Anyway, welcome aboard. It is a nice looking frog regardless if its Hyla cinerea or squirrela.

That second photo of Kurt's is the Greater Hatched-Faced treefrog.

I'm leaning towards Squirrel Treefrog right now.

Yeah I should've pointed that out. Thanks John. Also that photo came from the now defunct web site Living Underworld, which I do miss.

Schloopy's color doesn't change from green but it does change to a very dark green as opposed to it's normal color. I don't know what triggers it but I'm thinking stress.

I forgot to properly introduce myself. I have lived here in Huntsville all my life and I am 26 with a birthday coming up in November. I took two years of automotive technology (not graduated yet due to technicalities) and am delivering pizza until I can find a job in a shop. I like all sorts of music from pop to black metal to rap but I favor '90s alterna-grunge (Nirvana, Alice In Chains, etc.) '90s hip-hop (NWA, Tupac, etc.) and '60s rock-n-roll (Pink Floyd, the Doors, etc.) I have a Geo Storm in which I am installing a turbo motor from an Isuzu Impulse. It's has been a five-year + hobby. Other than that I really only work to afford my vices.

I hope to find much useful info on this site and I am glad to have found it. BTW... why does it seem all forum mods are named John???

[Kurt]

I am not a John.

Colour changes occur in frogs based on the lighting situation and/or the color of the background one finds the frog. Dark backgrounds and dim lighting lead to a dark coloured frog, and light coloured backgrounds and bright lighting lead to brightly coloured frogs.

LOL, I've cloned myself. Actually there are only a few mods - Me, Kurt and Jake and only Kurt and I are the only active ones.

I've been on other forums where the admins names were Jon or John. I just find it funny.

[John]

Have you ever been on Caudata.org?

[InfInIty13X]

No, just Isuzu/Geo sites.

[John]

Alright well then it's not me - I am only John here and on Caudata.org.
