How do you care for a frog?

by

Today I found a frog in my celery that I was going to use for my thanksgiving dinner. It is a live and I dont know what to do with it. I cant tell what kind of frog it is. It is tiny about the size of a quarter. How do I care for it and what do they need to survive. What do they eat? I am at a loss because I cant set it free I live in the desert. Please Help

Its care will depend greatly on what species it is, for now i would put it into a small container (make sure there are a few holes, a tupperware container should be fine) then put some damp dirt on the bottom, making sure that it is damp but not wet. Put in a piece of bark (well rinsed) for him to hind under. Make sure he stays warm and try to id him online or bring him to a pet store as soon as u can.

What kind of lizards can live in my vivarium?

by

My vivarium is 24" wide by 12" deep and high. I am not new to reptiles and amphibians as i care for two white's tree frogs and have cared for leopard geckos

Have you considered a Viper gecko? They are small, docile, easy to care for, interesting looking little animals that would do quite well in an enclosure that size.

Here is a care sheet for further information on them. 🙂

Good luck!
