Cleaning up the yard today I kept running upon these Tree Frogs. Are these the Cuban Tree Frogs that should be disposed of? I want to make a 100% positive Id before I dispose of them. The toe pads make me believe they are.

Give a shout out to Elaine (Dizzy Pixie,) she is really good at ID'ing frogs.

Scott, your first picture is definitely a Cuban. Can't see the toe pads on the second one. Here's the link to the UF page I use all the time to ID frogs: http://ufwildlife.ifas.ufl.edu...

Elaine, Thank you! I was looking at the UF page the other day and just wanted a definite ID before freezing them. The one in the second photo also has the same toe pads. As I have been cleaning up after Irma I have seen them everywhere in the garden. I will do my part and destroy them.

That first one sure looks like a Cuban Tree Frog to me ... we have quite a few around here. Not certain but the second one looks like the Bird-voiced Tree Frog.

There is a way you can ID the Cuban frog. I have a "butterfly" net from the dollar store in which I catch them. Hold them in the net, away from you because they do pee ! Try to rub the skin on the forehead; if it's fused, it's a Cuban frog. Then you can put some teeth soothing gel (like Ambisol) on it's head and back (stuff used for toothache); put in plastic bag and into your freezer. Remove 3-4 days later and toss with garbage. You can google this with the University of Florida; It's the most humane way.
