    I agree, looks like a Green frog. I know it wasn't the type of frog you were hoping to put in the enclosure, but would it still work? If I remember correctly they behave very similar to Leopard frogs and American bullfrogs in captivity. And even then, it'll take it a while to mature enough to go in, so you can raise it and see how wary and flighty it is, and if you even could move it into the enclosure when ready

    I have read a variety of care sheets and I see there is a lot of split decisions with them. Leopard frogs prefer land and Bullfrogs water, so these frogs are basically take your guess. If this is a male I'm interested in keeping it and I will see after getting it healthy if it can live with a pair of Toads in peace. The male is smaller and I hear they are voracious, yet lazy eaters. Unlike the Leopard Frog they don't chase their prey. So only time will tell. If you have info on it and you think if a male it will work as well, then between the two of us I think we can make the most wise decision [emoji1]
