can anyone help identify this tree frog

[Pah]

I work in a grocery store and this frog can in with the floral dept plants from Florida I believe and I am having the hardest time trying to figure out what type of tree frog it is would love to know so I can get the right things for the cage thanks

It may be a thin Cope's or Gray Tree frog. I've found a few pictures of variations of the species that have the striped legs and a solid green top. Here's an example.

I'm not sure what it might be but I love the stripes on its legs! Most tree frogs have very similar care, so if you can't figure out what type it is just do some good research on general tree frog care.

Definitely not a Gray. Wrong build, and it doesn't have the light patch under the eye. If I had to hazard a guess, I would say Cuban, based on the head shape. Cubans can be extremely variable in colors and patterns.

Have no idea, but I'm loving the patterns in its legs!

Not sure on the species, but a basic tree frog set up for that size frog should be a 30 gallon tank (or bigger if you can provide it) a water dish for it to soak in with conditioned water, and a few plants/branches for him to climb on. Tree frogs like tall, so go for a taller tank rather than a long one.
get him some crickets, about the size of the distance between his eyes, and dust them with calcium/vitamins. He is probably quite hungry after his journey through the mail.
good luck! Definitely a pretty frog!

Alright with a bit of googling I think you have a Cuban tree frog. Here's some pics for reference.

Way too long bodied to be a gray. They're "clumpy" looking, not so streamlined. Jeez, he's cute though!

That is definitely a Cuban tree frog and he (or she) needs some feeding up and rehydration asap. If you plan on keeping this frog (not sure they are a non-controlled or allowed species in PA, you'll have to check regulations) you'll need to have a large enclosure for it when it's mature; these guys can get bigger than White's tree frogs! And WTFs require a minimum of 20 gallon for one frog (10 gallons for each additional frog). They are definitely an arboreal frog and will need a taller terrarium like an Exo-Terra vs standard aquarium.

You also should definitely get fecal testing, and perhaps a skin swab, on him as well. He should also be placed into a simple quarantine tank with just paper towels for substrate, a dish of dechlorinated/treated water (Reptisafe is good), and plastic plants for hiding in/climbing.

Good luck!

They are perfectly legal in PA.

Hello,
Moderator , Heatheranne , acquired her Cuban in a similar manner.

If you have any questions leave her a visitors message
I believe she has had him for about a year? He's adorable.

Hello

(Thanks, Lynn )

Yes, Cubans are okay to keep in Pa. The concern is release. They are illegal to release into the wild. They are invasive species and cause lots of trouble. They are voracious eaters and will out-eat other species and will even eat other frogs locally.

However, they're cute as can be and quite mellow as they get used to you .

That one is pretty thin, but no worries, he'll beef up quickly with feedings . Yours is a beauty. Lovely markings.

Yes, you can do a fecal test. It's always recommended in wild caught frogs. It's quite likely he'll be carrying intestinal parasites. Most can be safely treated with Panacur. I get mine from Dr. Frye.

If he's a he an 18x18x24" enclosure or bigger is recommended. If she's a she, she'll get big (up to 4" is a possibility), and may need a bit larger tank.

They love soaking in a nice water bowl .

Follow the Whites Tree Frog caresheet. The Cuban's care is the same. I can link it if you'd like?

Fidela...? Heh

Is it true that they have a toxin that can irritate the skin? I read that somewhere when someone was looking for a first frog for their child. Of course I use gloves anyway to handle my frogs, so wouldn't think it would be too much of an issue unless you forget to wear your gloves and then rub your eye or something...

[Heatheranne]

Yes, it is true. Fidela likes to sneak past mom's gloves and climb my arms so she can make me itchy, lol! Apparently I look like a tree branch. I'm very sensitive to almost everything though. But yes, I wear gloves with all of my frogs and wash hands and switch gloves between tanks just to be safe .
