Hey everyone,
I'm new to frogs, but I have kept axolotls before(I'm also big on fish). My fiance called me while at work, and apparently found a green tree frog in the parking lot of her place of work that does not look like it's doing too well. She has it in a cup right now that has wet leaves. I haven't seen the frog(other than a blurry cell phone picture), but I do have an empty twenty gallon high with the proper lid for frogs sitting in my attic right now. I was wondering if it would be better for the frog to be released into the wild(there are a few nice parks with water around here) or if I should keep him. I've always been interested in tree frogs, but I've never kept one, and clearly am not prepared to house one at this exact moment. I'm not sure what the opinion is of keeping wild caught animals in the frog keeping community, but I know catching anything from the wild and keeping it is generally frowned upon.
I was hoping I would get some advice/opinions from this forum on whether I should immediately release the frog, or whether I should keep it for a while until it recovers, or just keep it. I'm honestly not even sure what the exact care requirements are for Tree frogs, so I thought I'd ask real quickly. Unfortunately I'm still currently at work, so I'm not going to be able to do any research until I get home.
If the frog turns out to be just fine when I get home, I'd also love some advice on what type of area would be a good spot to release it in. I'm assuming a parking lot is not a desirable habitat.
thanks for any help
