Yes Joseph it looks like a Greenhouse Frog to me.

I dont believe it to be a spring peeper, although very similar. According to the map on the National Geographic link, the range of the spring peeper is not as south in Florida as I am. Or at least not the species they were refering to in that link. I will get some better photos next time I see them. I appreciate your suggestion Shannon, thank you, and will continue to ivestigate the name "spring peeper".

How cute! I guess you must have to be careful when you wipe your feet on the mat!
