Grey tree frogs are a very hardy species and adapt well to captivity.

IMO its always best to get a cb frog especially if its your first. But if you find a frog and truly wanna keep it then do so IF you know what your doing.

I don't think the average person could find a CB gray or green or american toad or any number of other commonly available WC species and I don't see any problem with keeping a few from the wild. I don't think it's necessarily better to pay $40.00 for a CBB red eye for example than it is to keep one of these easier to keep WC species. It's all in what you want and can afford and if you can't afford the CBB one you can get by very inexpensively with a WC one. Of course this will bring out the "if you can't afford to buy one how are you going to afford to keep one" argument which, in this case I think is total garbage.

Like poison says, gray trees adapt very well to captivity. I don't think it would be stressful at all for them if their needs are met.
