Here in Central Fl, our A carolinensis has been largely outnumbered by the Bahamian and Cuban variety and you are hard pressed to find a native green tree frog.

While the cold certainly did not wipe out the brown anoles around central fl. it certainly did a number on them. Here in Paisley the greens definitely outnumber the browns right now. another thing I noticed this last week while working (I do landscaping) is the lack of baby brown anoles right now. This is normally the time of year at which point there are bazillions of them. I was chasing a weed eater this saturday and noticed only 3 all day and 2 of them might have been baby greens. This at a time when I would normally be doing my best to not make anole puree while weed eating.
I have not been in Orange or seminole county at night lately so I am not sure about cuban treefrog populations there but I have yet to see any in Daytona, Deland or Deltona. I'm not saying they are gone but I haven't yet seen any. I can tell you for sure that once you get away from the urban areas the green tree fogs (actually I think they're really squirrel tree frogs) barking tree frogs and a few others definitely reign supreme and there are no cuban tree frogs to be found. The native tree frogs around my house will almost make you go deaf at night time.
