First Exotic Find

[RyanR]

Today i was outside helping my dad fix the van tail light and when we took off the casing there was a weird Frog well i looked it up and it happend to be a south american Gray tree frog.. dont know how it got up here in the ice age ;) but i decided to keep it and got out my old 10 gallon tank Moss and climbing things i think this could be fun :D

That's pretty cool, maybe it's someone else's escapee?

Are those hard to care for? My sister has always wanted a frog and we're thinking about maybe getting one. Just curious..

Is this the kind frog you found ?
If so I kept one all last winter and let it go this spring . It was easy to take care of . My daughter found it on our back porch .

heh, weird place to find one.

We had one of those in the pipe from our satellite dish. It stayed down in the water most of the day and would come out at night to sing, rather loudly I might add.

As to whether it was South American or not, I dunno..but it looked just like that picture.

When he sang, was it with an accent?

That would help determine if he was South American.

yes the Frog is IDENTICAL! And i let it go already since its spring!
