A good 16-17 years ago when I was but a wee lad, I'd purchased a treefrog in a Portland, Oregon pet store. They were selling it as a Greenback Treefrog. I had the frog for several years before it perished.
Anyway, curiosity has struck me recently and I've been trying to identify the species, but to no avail. I believe I'd found it in a book once close to 15 years ago, but the memory is fuzzy. From what I remember reading, I believe it may have been a European species. I can tell you the physical appearance was very similar to that of Hylarana erythraea (the Asian or Common Greenback frog), though this frog was definitely a tree frog, as it had adhesive toe pads and spent a great deal of time sleeping on the sides and corners of it's enclosure. If I remember correctly, it was approx. 2-3 inches snout to vent.
Any help on this would be much appreciated. Cheers!
