I bought my Green Tree Frog off of www.reptilecity.com about 3 months ago and I recently made a page for her on reptilechannel and a commit said that she was a tiger-legged tree frog and not a GTF. So I wanted some other opions from some other herpers, here are some pics.

I do not think that is a green tree frog, but it is not a tiger leg either. Has it always been that way? Have you contacted reptile city (that would be a good course of action)?

I left that comment.

That is definitely not a Green Tree Frog (Hyla cineara).  Here are my reasons:

GTFs have a much thinner body shape.

GTFs don't have orange and black stripes on their legs.

GTFs are much larger than that frog is.

GTFs have a white stripe going down their side. I am 99% positive that that is a Tiger Legged Monkey Tree Frog (Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis).  Here is a picture of some:

But their care is pretty much exactly the same...

No, the features for a tiger leg monkey frog are different. The face resembles a gray tree frog, again you should contact reptile city.

Not all animals in a species look exactly the same...

But he also has the extremely round body like a Tiger Leg.

But the head is all wrong, monkey tiger legs have a distinct head.

That is no GTF or tiger leg. Thats all I can really say...

You'll want to contact your supplier and ask some questions.
