    I just caught a frog or a toad who was in the street hopping around with about 500 others and I wanted to save one at least from being run over.. So now I have one and I want to know exactly which species this is. Also I have a lot of experience with chameleons and my chameleons do very well in captivity so I believe I can manage keeping this little guy healthy. If not possible I'll just release him in a safer area.

    Thanks all

    I think either a species of Leopard Frog or a Pickerel Frog, the markings and whole overlook of the frog suggests so. Either way, a frog of the Ranidae family.

    If it's either of the possibilities I mentioned above, I think this Caresheet will come in handy. I'm hoping someone with more experience with Frogs in your area will chime in and confirm your little guy's species.

    It is definitely some species of leopard frog. The oval shaped spots give it away. The smaller and toxic pickerel frog has square shaped spots all the way down its back in two organized columns. A pic from the side would help confirm exactly which species of leopard frog it is.

    Thanks guys I'll definitely try to get a side picture. He is quite the little escape artist, but I'm going to try and get an aquarium setup today.
    Correct me if in wrong, 10 gallon glass tank for one leopard frog, no UVB uv lights required, no heat lamps required and a 50/50 land to water ratio? Anything else?

    And I've got over 1000 gutloaded crickets, 1000 gutloaded super worms, 500 Indian sticks, 500 gutloaded Dubia roaches and a couple hundred soldier flies, are these all safe for him to eat?

    Your set up looks good to me. Superworms might be tough to digest though
