here in darwin we can have them as pets without a licence but if we wanted to breed and sell them we would have to apply for a permit there awesome i got tonnes of them around my backyard

From that shot it looks like Litoria infrafrenata, White Lipped Treefrog they are a lot more angular than a Green Tree Frog, although Brisbane is a bit too south for it. Do you have more photos from other angles?

The License in queensland, I THINK PLEASE check, allows you to keep some frogs that you have caught on your property.


From the arc site:

Queensland licences and protection

The Queensland governmental departments responsible for frogs are the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS). It is difficult to locate the relevant laws either online or by telephoning the agencies.

To the best of my knowledge, these are the important regulations (as at March 2005):

* All frog indigenous to Australia are protected wildlife and cannot be taken from the wild in any form adult, juvenile, larva or egg without a permit.
* The exception to the above is that a person may take and keep up to eight adult frogs of up to four species but no more than two frogs of any one species "for personal enjoyment". The "taking" (catching) must be done on the person’s own property and the frogs be kept on that property. The frogs can’t be displayed and should there be progeny, the metamorphs must be released at the point of capture within 7 days of metamorphosis.
* Frogs from outside Queensland must not be moved into the state without a permit.

The application for the relevant permit is available online but you may need to make a phone call to discover the exact cost. (It is around $50.)

* View application for Recreational wildlife licence (birds, reptiles, amphibians)

Definately a santa frog, you can tell by the extra clear suction foot and the attached disguise as christmas lights.
