Expanding range???

I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and often see grey tree frogs but have been seeing more green tree frogs and starting in the past couple of years some grey-green tree frogs that appear to be a hybrid between the two with characteristics of both (mottled color but smooth not bumpy skin); can the range of the green tree frog be expanding due to introduction (ex, escapee pets) or something like global warming? I thought that green tree frogs are more of a subtropical type animal and that it is simply just too cold here in southwest Ohio for them but the continued presence of these little fellers each year seem to be telling me a different story, at least in my neighborhood (I live within one mile of the Ohio River and suspect a microclimate because the crape myrtles and mimmosa begin to bloom here at least 1-2 weeks earlier than areas further from the river, also, there are train tracks nearby and I suspect that they may be riding the rails here).Anyway, will these non-native green and possible hybrid treefrogs eventually die off or are they "hardy" enough to adapt and also are they capable of breeding with the local grey frogs, which appears to be the case here (or is that another type of frog altogether- but they do look most likely to be a hybrid green-grey trefrog if that is possible)? Any info on hardiness, range expansion, introduction, etc would be appreciated. Thanks. I also have been starting to see green anoles over the past few years as well- we never had either here when I was a child (but we do have plenty of wall lizards and blue tail skins and the occasional scaly fence lizard; regardless, it certainly appears that something odd is happening here. Any explainations? Thank you.

I also live in Ohio, and I've recently found what seems to be a small (smooth skinned) grey treefrog. From what I've looked up, turns out they change colors from around olive, grey, brownish, and obviously the green you seemed to notice. I don't beleive these are 'hybrid' frogs, but I also found there are two different types of them (Cope's Grey-Treefrog). They may have just found their way to around your area. But, I'm not certain, so you may have something going there.. Good luck figuring that out.

Nice Job!

Pet frog instructions

I added the content abput pet frogs to the article Pet frog where it belonged. Dominick ^(TALK) 01:56, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mating call

Green tree frogs are easily identified by their distinctive "barking" mating call.

Speaking of which, this page needs an audio clip link! 75.72.46.100 (talk) 01:55, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal for Merging

The Pet Frog article does not seem to have anything about pet frogs but rather only things about pet Green Tree Frogs, that clearly should be in here then, unless the pet frog article becomes a proper article about pet frogs rather than a specific species. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 04:06, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Green tree frogs are taking over my deck in the evenings. How can I get rid of them?

Be careful about what you wish for. If you get rid of them, you will have a lot more insects. I find that they significantly cut down on the number of insects around my back door at night. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.213.181.45 (talk) 10:29, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why does pet frog redirect here

This about a tree frog, not pet frog. I got here from Mantellidae. Split the page, and make pet frog its own page concerning all frogs kept in captivity.--108.1.205.40 (talk) 23:59, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
