Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

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.
