Other Info: This species is similar in its habits and requirements to the European Tree Frog. However this species tends to be more active. This species is often confused with the Squirrel Tree Frog ( H. squirella ). Both occur in the same area and have the same colour. The only difference in the latter species is that the stripe runs from the eye to only the fore leg.
