    Yes except mink because many places they are listed as an animal you cannot take.

    You need at least 29 gallons for Green Frog or Northern Leopard Frog and a 40 gallon for a pair. Try if you can to get a sexed pair it usually works best. You can give them a 75 gallon as adults and they will use the entire tank. Green frogs need 80-20 water to land so a small island to dry off time from time. The Northern Leopard Frog loves land more then almost any other ranid except the Wood Frog. So 60-40 or 70-30 land to water ratio is good for them. I would only keep up to 3-4 but 2 is the most comfortable for them so they have their mate and no competition.

    Temperature should be between 65-78 but Green Frogs actually do bad in 80+ conditions. Both are fun and the Green Frog is the most bold and you can hand feed. Green Frogs are abundant so you can get them anywhere. You have to see either online to buy or if your state allows leopard frog possession.

    The Wood Frog is very advanced. They are terrestrial and are very nervous and need cooler temps or will pass away. These are not common pets and I will be doing a care sheet on them and on Northern Leopard Frogs but I would say not to attempt with Wood Frogs. They aren't good to start out with.

    I hope this helps if you need tips on more like feeding and etc I'll be happy to help
