    Hello and congratulations on your new frog. I believe I have identified it. It appears to be a Boophis albilabris, or White-lipped bright-eyed frog.

    Here are some pics that I found.





    Here's a Frogforum thread that I found about them, with more pics. http://www.frogforum.net/tree-frogs/...is-photos.html

    I couldn't find a whole lot about it, other than what I found on the Wikipedia stub, White-lipped bright-eyed frog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I would suggest going onto Google tomorrow and doing some very intensive searching for info. It would appear that it at least needs a heavily arboreal setup with lots of branches and tall plants with strong leaves.

    Because it's wild caught, you will want to do a long quarantine with multiple fecal testings done, and also test for Chytrid and Ranavirus. You can find test kits online that are quite inexpensive. Be prepared for some vet bills, as it will almost certainly need some treatment for parasites and possibly other issues.

    Best of luck on your froggy, and please keep us updated on how s/he is doing, and what you are finding out about him/her.
