    Pics of found frog
    Here are two pics I snapped of the frog I found. I'm heading out to the petstore to get some things to add to the cage for him/her to feel more comfortable. (fake plants, ect). Anything else I need to get besides crickets. (I wasn't able to on Wednesday)

    Any possible ID on this frog? I think its some kind of treefrog, but someone on here should know more than I do. :D

    Whoa; looks like you have a gray treefrog! You might not believe it, but they are very elusive. We have some that congrerate to breed in the woods here, by a certain pool of water. You hear them.. you try to find them.. they shut up! And you can't find them! I was talking to a fellow herp nut at Beaver Meadows, a nature sanctuary near us; he said that finding grays around here and actually getting to see them is like the holy grail.
    I have never kept them, but I had a spring peeper for awhile. I'd set it up at normal summertime temps for your area. Like other treefrogs, they appreciate a higher tank as opposed to a long one; more air space for branches and other climby things.
    Normally, your frog would be brumating (hibernating) now. I don't really know how to advise on brumating frogs. I have only brumated horned frogs, and it is almost like inducing a state of torpor (sleep) in them. But I am not sure how you'd go about it in relation to soil depth, proper temp, etc. indoors.
    Maybe he'll grow on you? :)

    Thanks for the links! They are very helpful! My apartment stays around 75 so I think temps for him are ok for now. One site said 68-78 during the day, another said 80.

    I got him some pinhead crickets and will be checking in on him soon to see if he's eaten any. I got him some fake leaves to climb on. The enclosure I have him in is very small and only temporary. He's in a small critter keeper until I can find something bigger.
