Mutant Coqui frog???

Hey all! Was on vacation down in Seista Key a couple weeks back and found a pretty neat frog. Enjoy!

That is cool! Do you happen to know what the rules are in Florida for collecting exotics? That would be a neat thing to have in captivity, especially if you collected a few more individuals from the same population.

I’m pretty sure you can do what ever you want with invasive species. There was another Coqui literally 6 inches away from this guy when I saw it. I am not good with amphibians!

@Snowgyre, do you know what mutation that might be considered?

@DieselFan, that is one awesome find. I happen to love amphibians though. Plus, thank you, very much for sharing. I hope you had a nice vacation.

That's a Greenhouse frog, Eleutherodactylus planirostris. I've seen hundreds but never one like that. It's totally fine to catch and keep that frog in FL. They are considered non native. Cool fact, they have no tad pole stage. All direct development in the eggs. So tiny when born!

Thanks for clarifying what species it is.

If you had to guess the mutation, what do you think? Could that be a pied/piebald specimen? Of course, it could just be a random non genetic mutation too.

Just another cool perk of being a Floridian.
