    Looks like your average green tree frog to me. Do you have a pic of it when it's not moulting (to show the white lip)?

    It doesn't have a white lip, It's not a 'white lip tree frog' the light from the camera kinda makes it look like it but it IS a WHITES TREE FROG
    Here are 2 of mine, one sleeping one awake

    Cute froggies! White's Tree Frog is just another name for the Green Tree Frog named after John White who first described the species. Same species (Litoria Caerulea).

    There are many types of green tree frogs, but yes, this one is named after John whites. it's better me calling it whites tree frog cos ppl know what exact frog that is, instead of saying "my green tree frog" cos there are lots of different species of those!!

    In Australia the common name is green tree frog for Litoria caerulea. The name white's or dumpy tree frog are both American names for L. caerulea. Last time I checked Australia is yet to be part of the USA so the name Green Tree Frog is correct.

    Cheers

    Ok, well the frog forum I am on has alot of Americans on there keeping those frogs, so it is better for me to say whites frog as they know which one that is, so I will just keep calling them whites tree frog.
