    Green frog. (Lithobates clamitans) They have identical care to Leopard frogs (Lithobates pipiens and sphenocephalus) and Bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) except on a smaller scale from bullfrogs, but a larger scale than leopard frogs. UVB is important, as are candian night-crawlers, dubia roaches, and dusted crickets. Hope this helps!

    Yes, these frogs show a large amount of differences between individuals in the same location. One way to identify Green frogs is that unlike Bullfrogs, the Green frogs still have dorsal-lateral ridges, and unlike the Leopard frogs, they only extend down a small bit down the side, and end about halfway down the sides. Males will also have large typhanums (ears, also misspelled that probably) and females will have dramatically smaller ones in comparison
