What kind of frog is this -Cuban or other?
+13
I've been told Cuban frogs are very bad because they eat native frogs. I can't find a real comparison between good/bad frogs. My yard is full of creatures so I normally let nature take care of things.

It is hard to tell based on the photo you submitted. The frog is very small.

Oh I know it isn't the best pic but the best I could do. He is gone today. If he is the bad one I hope he went back to Cuba. I try to respect nature to take care of things but man gets involved and then there is a problem that is worse @Janet Pizaro.

@Sherrie Slaboda It's hard to tell based on the pic, but it certainly looks as if it might be a Cuban tree frog! If you see it again, maybe you could catch it, & call a local zoo, fish & game or a local college that might want to study it or something to take it. Here is a link that provides some information & other links to identify Cuban frogs. http://www.wec.ufl.edu/extension/wildlife_info/frogstoads/osteopilus_septentrionalis.php

it's either barking tree frog or green frog. Some varieties have suction cup finger tips and can change color. this is a cordiline tropical plant which nurseries grow in Florida. If you bought this from a home improvement store it comes from Costa Nursery. you can go to their site for more information on your plant. I merchandise these in New England stores and get this frog all the time shipped in the plants. Costa also ships small lizards Gecko's in their plants too. I catch them for my grandson for his collection. Costa a national shipping company frequently have frogs and lizards in their tropicals but nothing else. They live and breed in the tropicals on their farm. They probably give tours as well.

Thank you very much @Katrina Warren. What is your opinion about this frog. Does he kill all the other frogs? You answered this earlier

I just went to the site and I think the only way I could tell if was a Cuban frog would be by looking at his toes. Thanks again @Katrina Warren.

I do appreciate your posts @Katrina Warren. I'm not going to kill a frog if t looks like a Cuban frog. There are too many that are beneficial and resemble the Cuban frog.
