>>it's actually not a treefrog, it may live in the trees, but according to it's latin classification it's a "running frog."
>>a red legged running frog. >>

It is not a hylid, but an Old World treefrog of the family Hyperoliidae, which was once considered the same family as the Rhacophoridae. The Old World treefrogs are closely related to the Ranids, whereas the hylids (a mostly New World family) are more closely related to the toads or Bufonids.

>>where did you come across this guy? they are pretty uncommon, and yours appears to be in good health, from the looks of it.

They used to be quite common imports from Africa. Not sure if they are still being imported on a regular basis anymore or if they are being captive bred.
