Hi Bugman,
I think this beauty is a Parachuting Red-Eyed Leaf Frog. Found him in the vack yard at night.

Hi Jordan,
Since we already set up an Amphibian page to house our selfishly self-produced images of a California Salamander, we will also post your magnificent images of what we are trusting you have properly identified as a Parachuting Red-Eyed Leaf Frog. We will also post that snake photo you supplied in the hope that someone might assist in the identification.

hello!
just wanted to let you know the post from February 21, 2010 with the leaf frog or whatever they called it is wrong. It is a good old Red Eyed Tree Frog (Agalychnis callidryas). What I think is one of the best looking animals on the planet!
cheers!

Thanks Bryna,
We should try to locate a corresponding link to verify the identification.

are usually on it!
