Sommer Gardens / Friday, October 16, 2009 / Categories: Creatures The one that got away... A week or so ago I posted picture of an unknown tree frog I thought may have been a Cuban Tree Frog, an invasive species that has gained a foothold here in Florida. If found we are supposed to catch and destroy them. The previous frog I spotted ended up being a native one so I let it be. This afternoon I spotted another tree frog that seemed odd to me. After snapping a few photos I went inside to see if i could ID it on the web. Much to my surprise this one fits the description of the Cuban Tree Frog so I ran outside to capture it. Of course it was nowhere to be found when I got outside. At least now I have a better idea of what to look for the next time I see an unusual looking tree frog. I learned the two things to be on the lookout for are the over-sized toe pads and warty, toad-like skin on their back. If you are able to catch one, you'll also see that the skin on its head is fused to their skull and will not move.
