I have a green tree. i am thinking he may be a cuban green tree not an american as the right side of his body his turneing gray/brown. I can't find anything else to explain what it is. he is stil active eats fine. doesn't appear to be sick ive check the tank temp and humidity is withing his needed range.
any suggestions?

you may be right but i don't think they're available over here. i could be absolutely wrong on that though.

Do you have a picture? I'm not entirely sure what your question is...

Green tree frogs can change color to a light brown, They will use it to blend into their environment. That being said they will also change color because of temps and stress. From your description his environmental requirements are being met and unless you have him in a sparsely planted tank, I would think he is fine. I would just observe for now.

Ps The Cubans wouldn't have any green, they will be brown to a pasty white color.

NO i don't have any pics. I have him ina 18x18x24 with 1 anole and 2 fire belly toads an 1 house gecko. Im workign on getting the anole into a seperate 10 gallan so i can get him some anle company. just kinda freaked me out i was worried abotu it beign fungus or something but it's really just looks like he changed color half way. his aboreol area is a vine wiht 4 hangign plants those are fake for now. i have a waterfall wiht a pond in that's for the toads. tryign to find some plants that will hang properly from the vine i got in there so i can take the fake plants out. thanx for the feedback

RecycledAgain is absolutly correct. That being said when did you first notice the change, and how long did it stay that way? Has the frog always been housed with the other species? My next question is what kind of lighting setup do you have?
