Same Tank

Do you guys know if it's safe to put a green tree frog and/or a leapord frog in the same tank as my White's tree frogs?

It's basically up to you. I don't really know any of the specific requirements of the frogs you mention(you probably you do though) but mixing species is a gamble. Even though non of the frogs are poisonous, they may stress eachother etc.
Anyway, conclusion: I guess you could try, but I wouldn't since there are some unnecessary risks.

I have had leo frogs in the same cage as leopard frogs, with no problem.
I am really not knowledgible in treefrog keeping, but I would be concerned that the deeper water that the ranid frogs like, could be dangerous to the treefrogs. I know that swimming is not their strong suit, and if they fell into the water, it could be bad.
Maybe some treefrog keepers can chime in?
