My friends and I were in my backyard when my Mom saw a bright green frog. It wasn’t a toad. We thought it might have been a tree frog cause of the body. Though it doesn’t have red eyes and the feet colors too. We want to keep it but we don’t know if it might be poisonous,We put it in my bug catcher and we came back and it changed to dull green with black spots.But the pupils are still brown. Is it poisonous or not?
Most poisonous frogs are very brightly colored so usually the tropical frogs are poisonous but if it is in your backyard i highly doubt it is poisonous unless you live in the tropics. if it turns out to be poisonous just wash your hands like you would if you touched any kind of frog.

You can search it on yahoo.com pictures poisonous frogs. Match it with the one you want to keep. Or go to the local library in your town and see frog books.

Most poisonous frogs are brightly colored to warn predators. Your first description sounds like a tree frog but the second one sounds like a green poison dart frog. Just in case don’t touch or lick it. Below are some pictures of green poison dart frog.

Usually, poisonous frogs are brightly colored, like the Poison Dart frog, which is found in the upper part of South America in the rainforests. Just plain tree frogs can be a bright green, i guess. Tree frogs’ skin depend on moisture, so that is probably why the Tree frog’s skin is turning brown like you said. If it doesn’t have water, it’s body will dry out, and it will die. Frogs can actually breath out of their skin believe it or not. Use a squirt bottle to keep it most, or if you are thinking of keeping it for a long time, put it in a tank with a few inches of water with a couple rocks and plants.
Hope this helps.:)
