how do i take care of a wild frog in danger?

Tricia — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 03:33:15 +0000

There is this frog living in my grandma’s little bird house that has hole that go all the way through. My grandpa says he thinks it will die from the heat but I want to save it. A first I just used this little rubber fish thing to squirt water on him and he liked it but the water dried too quickly and most of the time I forgot about him. Then I tried to keep him but then I thought he might die if i keep him HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s not supposed to be in rehab it’s a wild tree frog that’s tiny!!!!

Tree frogs are very adaptive little creatures. It moved into the bird house to protect it from direct sunlight. I do not recommend that you do anything. Spraying water on it will heat it up faster. Think about when you are outside in the heat and then you spray water on yourself; it feels good for a moment (until the water evaporates) and then you are left feeling hotter.

Do not attempt to keep him. He will die in captivity. Plus it is very illegal to care for wildlife, even a simple tree frog, if you do not have the proper permits.

And if you need to move him again, please make sure your hands are wet before touching him. The salt on our hands and fingers burns their delicate skin.

Barred Tiger Salamander?

Tricia — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 06:28:02 +0000

hi, ive just got a new pet hes a barred tiger salamander (Corneilias) hes about 8-10cm long and grows to a size of up to 14"..does anyone have any experience with these amphibians? e.g care and do the males grow bigger then the females? ive gotten as much info as i could before i got him , i just wanna know from hands on experience. thanx!

I had a look in my book but could not see the one that fits your description..maybe it's a new strain but there is that's pretty close.

Tiger Salamander.[ Ambystoma Tigrinum] they both seem to grow to the same size. 5-8 ins. Found in the United States. It spends most of the year on land,where it digs tunnels in the earth and winters in holes in the ground;it usually breeds in the early spring. The male produces several spermatophores,which the female takes up into her vent. Quite soon afterwards she lays several clumps of eggs on water plants,and incubation lasts 2-3 weeks. The fully grown larva is 7-91/2 ins long and has three pairs of branched external gills and a crest along the back and tail. This larva can itself become sexually mature and reproduce by neoteny. If the ponds they are living in dry out,or if they are fed with thyroid,the larvae complete their development to the adult stage.

when my tadpole becomes a frog?

Tricia — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 07:44:02 +0000

i bought a tadpole. i know how to care for it now, but what do i need to do with it as it starts to turn into a frog? and when it is a full grown frog? ( i have a pac man frog as well, so i'm assuming that i just feed any other frog crickets too….) and don't worry, i know not to put them in the same aquarium. lol

oh, and i know i put this under reptiles.. even though a frog is an amphibian

All frogs like bugs,but you can feed him little bits of hamburger too.Just hold it on a straw or small stick of somekind,wiggle it a tiny bit & he will snap it right down!
What is a pacman frog? I love frogs & know who pacman is,but never heard of a pacman frog!

What's a good reptile to get?

Tricia — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 04:48:02 +0000

I want a reptile (or amphibian) I can hold and isn't diffcult to care for. I was thinking a corn snake, but any other ideas? Lizards are good too.
Thanks in advance!

Cornsnakes are ideal. Easy to care for, good eaters, and they come in a variety of colors. They are docile as well. I don't recommend ball pythons due to their feeding problems. Too stressful for a new snake owner to deal with. Bearded dragons are great lizards. Not too difficult to care for, and they have wonderful personalities.

I'm looking for a pet of the amphibian/reptile sort..any suggestions?

Tricia — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 01:26:04 +0000

I have a small un-used fishtank because I just upgraded to a larger aquarium. I've been keeping a pretty successful tropical aquarium for awhile now and I also have three dwarf hamsters, I was thinking a small tree frog or a small lizard would be a nice addition to my little menagerie. Are there any suggestions as to what to get? My reptile keeping experience extends to two pet tokay geckos, and an iguana I cared for for awhile. I also hatched ring neck snake eggs I found in the backyard but didn't keep the babies for long. I want something low maintenance and small. I would rather not have to provide live prey because I'm too far from a pet store that sells crickets and walmart only has meal worms but I can manage it if need be.

Hello; I would highly recommend a Leopard Gecko, a Crested Gecko, a Viper Gecko, a Gargoyle Gecko, or an African Fat-tailed Gecko.

All are low/medium upkeep, small, fine with gentle, patient, confident handling, hardy, interesting looking, and docile. Cresteds and Gargoyles have the added advantage of being able to be kept successfully on a powdered 'Crested Gecko diet' by T-rex; so you don't need to provide feeder insects unless you'd like to.

Another idea if you are interested in one of the three cricket feeders on my list is to have your crickets ordered in from a place like http://www.lllreptile.com and having them shipped to you, that way you don't have to deal with making regular trips to that far away pet store. Just keep them and in a cricket corral or cricket keeper with fruits, veggies, or a specially made cricket diet, and you'll be in good shape.

Here are care sheets for all of the Gecko species I just named:

I hope this helps, and if you have any further questions at all on the subject or would like more suggestions on a good lizard species; please feel free to message me and I will be more than happy to assist you.

Good luck on your lizard search!
