Hi, I'm Nick. I built Herp Calendar on my own and I keep it free, with no ads. If it has helped you find a herp this season, a small tip goes straight into the hosting and the data work. Only if you can spare it. Either way, I'm glad you're here.

Look, don't take. Many states regulate collecting reptiles and amphibians. Photograph it, log it on iNaturalist and leave it where you found it.

Description

The Cuban tree frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) is a large species of tree frog that is native to Cuba, the Bahamas, and the Cayman Islands; but has become invasive in several other places around the Americas. Cuban tree frogs are the largest tree frogs in North America, ranging from 2 to 5.5 inches or (5 to 12.7 cm) in length.Wikipedia ↗

Habitat

The Cuban tree frog is native to Cuba, the Bahamas, and the Cayman Islands. Whether the species was native to the Key West region of Florida is debated, or if it was introduced to the area.Wikipedia ↗

When it's active

Cuban tree frogs are mainly nocturnal and sleep during the day, preferring to hunt and breed when the sun goes down. During the breeding season, the male will have a black nuptial pad on his hand or wrist that helps him hold onto the female during amplexus.Wikipedia ↗
