Help identify and then should I keep him/her?
Hi. For the past week, I had noticed my cat being very curious about a new houseplant I had bought from a local home depot. This morning, while watering it, I pulled the plant out of the planter (I had yet to actually transplant it into the larger planter) and found a tiny frog. We brought it to a local pet store, who couldn't identify it any further than "tree frog" but I'm wondering if anyone can help me identify the species. Because he came in on a "tropical" plant, I have no idea if he's native to our area, or a long way from home.
At the same time, we're wondering what we should do. Should we keep it? Should we be worried about disease or the fungus I've read about that's common in tree frogs? My sister thought that her kids (6 and 3) might enjoy having a frog as a pet, so even if we don't keep it, she might want to set up the terranium for it. Being winter, we didn't want to just put him outside. Thanks for the help.
