Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have seen that previously people have been wondering about what the "golden tree frog" is really called or the scientific name anyway...and a photo to help? I purchased a frog that was called a golden tree frog by the dealer, but I looked online to find ambiguous results... The coloration shifts from a light yellow to brown with darker paterns of random spots but no stripes. Pointy snout and golden eyes. Cute! I was wondering if there is a good photo of such tree frogs and their scientific names so I can confirm it without the confusing common names...or just wrong names...thanks

hi,

i got a poster of zoo med at home (reptiles and amphibians of the world) and there is a gold eyed treefrog on it, called Litoria chloris.

Thanks for the message. I will try to look it up!

I have the same animal if its' only about an inch in length. it's called the Polypedates leucomystax which is a subspecies of the Golden tree frog. it's smaller than it's bigger cousin Rhacophorus leucomystax.. as far as i can tell. and Polypedates don't have the stripes. here is a few pictures of mine.

here is another picture

and i included to a link says here they do have the stripes. so i'm wrong on that part.. but some colonies don't have them.
