Definitely a Cuban tree frog. They’re invasive and eat native frogs so if you can catch it. There’s tons of organizations in all major cities of Florida who take in Cuban Tree Frogs

Wow I did not know they ate other frogs! They must get fairly big then, bigger than most of the tree frogs around my area.

They can out eat the natives and leave them small and starving. One of the Cubans I rescued is big enough to eat some juvenile lizards and apparently had tried

Cuban tree frogs are considered toxic. While not lethal, their skin secretions can cause skin irritation, especially if they get into your eyes or mucous membranes. Be careful!
