Re: Newbie here.
What you have there is an American Green Tree Frog, I believe, or AGTF for short.
Since tree frogs are nocturnal it is best for them to be fed at night, I usually feed mine a few hours after they wake up or right before I go to sleep.
If he is an adult he's stopped growing, but I believe they're a relatively medium sized tree frog, I believe the adults get to about 2 or 3 inches. (Please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't know AGTFs so I'm not 100% on how big they get).
If you go on google and type in "American Green Tree Frog Care Sheet/Article" you will be able to find an abundance of good information on how to care for your new little friend.

Re: Newbie here.
Looks like an american green tree frog to me (Hyla cinerea). They're mostly nocturnal so best to feed late evening--which is their early morning. I think they get to be about 2.5" or so.
Re: Newbie here.
Brit totally beat me to it.
As for names, I just picked up a kids book by Guy Billout The Frog Who Wanted to See the Sea (has some of the best illustrations I've seen in a while) and the frog's name is Alice. Yeah, I know that's not really a male frog name. My Cope's grey tree frog was Frog for about two months until I finally landed on Hannibal so give it some time.
Re: Newbie here.
The care sheet would be a great thing to cruise through. Looks to me like he is an adult frog already.

Re: Newbie here.
Heh, my three chorus frogs are usually "ok, that's two: dangit where's the other one".
Re: Newbie here.
Hahahaha Thats funny.
If he is an adult that means AGTF are small frogs.... Ill google it lol
A few more questions:
any tips on his enclosure? im making one with the great stuff method.
Is Drift wood safe? any idea where i can buy rive stones? i live in Long Beach.
How big should his pond be?
Can two males live together or do i need to find him a female only?
PS thanks guys for your friendly-ness lol

Re: Newbie here.
If you're doing a 10 gallon enclosure, you should only have one frog in there. Max size for these frogs is about 2.5 inches, with males being smaller. I have a male gray tree frog that is actually only 1 1/4 inches and doesnt appear to be growing anymore. Males CAN live together if you were to put them in a 20 gallon instead of a 10.
The pond should be shallow enough that he wont drown (no deeper than his head) Definitely concentrate on the arboreal aspect of the tank though, that's the most important part for a tree frog.
And you're welcome, we're all happy to help!
