Not all green tree frogs have white stripes, just so y'all know. But you are correct about it being a squirrel tree frog, shape and the shade of green don't match for a green tree frog.

great information Music. Considering the fact that there is no white stripe, I would go with Squirrel tree frog.

I agree. The true green tree frog is quite large normally and has a white stripe running down both sides of its body. Hard to tell in this photo, but the shape looks like a squirrel tree frog. Check out this wiki link and see if you agree: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrel_tr...

If it's that small could it be a squirrel tree frog? there are 3 or 4 types of tree frogs.
