Most individuals display a clear white or yellow lateral stripe along each side, often bordered with darker pigment. The belly is pale, and the limbs are long and graceful with well-developed toe pads for climbing. Eyes are golden with horizontal pupils, giving the frog a bright, alert expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"877\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"730\"\u003eDistribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to the southeastern United States, including Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and eastern Texas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"879\" data-end=\"1064\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"879\" data-end=\"891\"\u003eHabitat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Found in wetlands, cypress swamps, marshes, forest edges, and vegetated ponds.
