OT - Invasive amphibian

It's a Cuban tree frog. I didn't realise how big they get.
It's HUGE, & pretty cool looking, check out the finger pads.

You don't see too many frogs any more. When I was a kid there
used to be so many leapard frogs you could just swing a net at
the canals edge and fill a bucket in no time. I haven't seen a
leopard frog in over 6 years now & I go hiking in the everglades
at least a few times every month.

It's big enough to eat one of my other favorite invasive species,
the house gecko.

I'm in MT. & I dont see leopard frogs much any more either, but the other day I found a nice little population of them, I was pretty excited!. Here are some pics.

Nice pics. We've got loads of pig frogs and bull frogs around
here but those guys are hard as heck to spot.

I've got a soft spot for frogs and salamanders.
