Here are a couple more pictures (my boyfriend apparently can't take a decent picture to save his life either so really good pictures will have to wait until the weekend.. ha):

@Brian: Yes, I never thought we would be frog owners, but there wasn't much of an alternative! Over $100 later and we have all of the supplies needed for our little guy to live a good life.

[purpleturtle89]

Those pictures after the frog cleaned up look pretty Cuban. Their colouration and pattern can vary greatly. Here's a link that describes the fused skin to skull test (ignore the part about euthanization) and has a picture of a Cuban that looks almost identical to yours: Florida Wildlife Extension at UF/IFAS

Amazon milk frogs tend to be bluish, and with dark bands.

Excellent! I will try that test this weekend when I meet him. Wow, I just looked at some pictures of Amazon milk tree frogs; they are beautiful! It makes my little guy look pretty bland in comparison... hehehe.

Thank you for all the help you've given me, Brian.

You're welcome!

Usually the simpler option is more likely. Since it came out of cut-flowers, a central or south american origin is certainly possible. But if the only way to make it fit a species description, like an amazon milk frog, is to assume it's also a half breed or rare colour morph you should start to doubt this belief, especially in the face of more plausible options.

it's a cuban. i get them from time to time from my plant shop. they hitchhike from florida, normally in larger potted plants.

[helm96]

Yeah my plant shop gets a lot of hitchhikers as well. I like how they do it, if you can identify the frog and prove that you have the proper care procedures then they will sell you the plant it is with. They will risk not selling the plant to avoid the frog going to the wrong home.
