This is not a leopard frog http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_fro... but, a pacific tree frog. Notice the the round sticky toe pads used for cimbing. This indicates a hylid (frog in the family hylidae) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hylidae unlike a leopard frog, a true frog. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranidae Also see the distinctive stripe across the eye, witch confirms the species. I am not sure why your specimen is camo patterned, however I have found one of this pattern myself. It is probably caused by a recessive mutation.
A location would help ID it.
Wow, just two years befor the last known sighting!
I edited it to add a link to a wiki article on the species to the spotting. I also rearranged the pics with the best ones first, hope thats Ok.
Realese next too your house just outside where you found it. It will eat bugs for so it would be best too put it in a garden area if you have one.
Skilton's skink (Plestiodon skiltonianus skiltonianus) is a subspecies of the Western skink (Plestiodon skiltonianus). Here is a link to a Wiki article on the species: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Ski...
