    Default Help identifying

    Hello everyone! I am new to the forum. We have had 4 spring peepers for quite a while now. Last night my husband caught a little froggy he found and put it in the tank. I just want to be sure that this one is also a spring peeper because I was concerned it might be a regular tree frog because I have never seen a green peeper though I know there are variations that color. This frog is the same size as the rest in the tank and similar head shape as the rest but I was concerned because it does not have a distinct "X" pattern that pseudacris crucifer are known for (but there are two of my peepers that do not have a distinct "X" either but rather a broken up "X") So I thought I would post a photo here to get everyone's opinion on this little guy.

    This guy is only about 3/4"-1" long. Like I said I was just worried it might be a young tree frog, but if it is a spring peeper please help me set my mind at ease! Thanks guys!

    Hello and welcome to FF Jaime! I'm not the best at frog ID's; but that looks like a very cute Grey Tree froglet. More information about them in here: Frog Forum - Gray Tree Frog Care and Breeding. And yes, I would not recommend mixing frog species, so if keeping, get it it's own enclosure. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Yeah I definitely don't want to cause any harm to my peepers, I love those little guys. I was afraid of that because we have a couple of grays that hang out around our house all the time. I will definitely be getting another enclosure or else I will probably have to let it go. Here are some pics of my spring peepers:

    There are four spring peepers all together in our 20 gallon tank. The fourth one is named Pepper

    Your peepers are definitely cute

    Good plan to release if you can't get another enclosure. Gray's get pretty fat compared to Peepers and would likely cause some damage at feeding time (or possibly even make a snack of the peeper if the size difference gets extreme enough).
