What type of frog is this?

[Tommy13b]

We first got the eggs when they were layed in our pool around may, they hatched around the end of may. They are just now turning into frogs, this is the first one that looks totaly like a frog(no tail and climbing on cage walls. They are from NE Ohio. I currently have him on coco husk, and he has a large pool of water 1/2 the size of his tank. He is tiny atm, about the size of my pinky fingure nail.

It's a baby Grey Tree Frog most likely. As they transform from tadpole to frog, they keep their green color for a few weeks then gradually turn grey. Check this site out for pictures http://www.aqualandpetsplus.com/Frog, Grey Tree Frog Tadpoles.htm

It is impossible to visually differentiate between the true Grey (Hyla versicolor) and Cope's Grey (Hyla chrysoscelis). They are identical in appearance, but differ in chromosome counts (H. chrysoscelis is a diploid, H. versicolor is a tetraploid) and call (H. chrysoscelis has a shorter, faster call). Their range overlaps in Ohio so it could easily be either species.
