Hello!

[McLaura]

Hi everyone! I'm looking forward to learning lots here! I'm a fairly new frog enthusiast - I got two Eastern Gray Tree Frog tadpoles a little over two months ago, and they morphed about a month and a half ago.

This past weekend I bought what I was told was a peacock or big-eyed tree frog, but the more research I do, the less I think that is what it is. I've found some photos online for the Leptopelis christyi that look like it, but I'm not positive.

I look forward to chatting!

Welcome aboard. Most likely the species you have Leptopelis vermiculatus. http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/im...el-lifeform=ne
Young specimens start out green with tiny black net-like markings and have white patches on the limbs. As they mature they develope chevron markings on their dorsum in hues of brown and sometimes green.

Hi Kurt - Thanks for your thoughts. I think I've looked at just about every single picture I could find of any Leptopelis on the internet today, and I think I've narrowed it down to either the Leptopelis flavomaculatus or the Leptopelis christyi. The problem is that the same exact pictures get labeled differently, depending on the website, so I think I'll have to wait til it grows up a bit to absolutely ID it.

Welcome to the site McLaura. I'm a big fan of Gray Tree Frogs . If you could take a photo of your other frog I bet we could ID it.

Like I said in the other thread, I hit the books and 100% positively identified it as Leptopelis flavomaculatus.

I hadn't seen that thread when I posted.

Its quite ok. I made an ID of Leptopelis vermiculatus before seeing the photo in the other thread. There I was able to positively ID is as Leptopelis flavomaculatus.
