looks like they were previously listed as endangered but are not any longer, but you are correct, it is protected in most of its habitat ranges but appears to not be protected in a few areas.

Get Hyla arborea or H. chinensis, they are similar in appearence.

Unfortunately they are both illegal in WA and OR. We have some strict rules on non-native temperate species in the northwest.

Kurt, thanks for the suggestions, and damnit what a huge bummer if it is illegal to own those over here in washington.. i really love tree frogs with appearances similar to the pacific chorus frogs, all of mine are brown no matter what kind of setup i use or even if i catch them green, they always become brown over a few months (not that they dont look great brown!) so, for once i am dying to have something similar that is green, + housing a few 'non cookie cutter frogs' is always excited, and new!

Here is a page listing WA prohibited species that may help you.

very useful Tony, thanks

[Kurt]

Wow that is quite a list.

its probably so long because the pacific northwest has such great rainfall and temperate climate that it is really condusive to invasive species explosions, it rains more than its sunny here and only snows like once or twice a year.
