I am completely unfamiliar with that frog species. For my own benefit, what characteristics did you look at to identify it? Although it does have the X shape on its back, a really doesn't look anything like a spring peeper.

>> Judging from the pictures of your frog, I suspect that it is a Polypedates Leucomastyx (sub-family Rhacophoridae). This species is commonly known as the Asian or Golden Foam-Nesting frog. The males of the species are considerably smaller than the females. How long have you had it, and how large is it (snout to vent)? If you would like to know more about the species, don't hesitate to ask me. Cheers.
