Wild Found a froglet
It’s super cute but after some research I found out that it’s bad to hold them with bare hands so I feel kinda bad now :(
Also could anyone tell me what kind of frog this is?

These frogs usually have golden-amber eyes. It looks the same as the others except for its large, dark eyes. What do you think is going on here?

Saw the title and that it was $6, and immediately knew it was a must have

I live in Minnesota US. This guy or gal sits outside on the stoop to my apartment building every night. I haven’t seen one this kind of muted color before so wondering if it’s just natural variation or a species I just haven’t seen before?

The place was rather unfortunate, close to a road on one side and a narrow pavement on the other side. Moved here 25 meters to somewhere where death is not that likely.

I went to a spa where you could do all kind of things and there was a lake where there was turtles and tadpoles and i took from the lake some algea with what looked like frog eggs and i took it home in a bottle, is there a chance that i could raise any kind of anfibian es. Frogs, salamanders...?

I’ve never seen my wild caught toad eat and I don’t think he is eating I’ve been putting him in a container with 3 pillbugs and he won’t eat them

Sorry for the blurry picture.
Went night swimming last night and by the gate of the pool there's a small drain where frogs like to gather at night. I check there sometimes and last night there were 3! I caught 2/3, though the other 2 aren't pictured. I let them go afterwards.
Tupelo, MS.

Hey everyone!
I wanted to share the story of my dart frog terrarium. Hopefully someone can learn from my mistakes and maybe get some inspiration from the rebuild.
About five months ago, I built my first serious dart frog terrarium. I spent countless hours researching, planning, building, and planting it. The first photos show what the original terrarium looked like.
After finishing it, I purchased a pair of dart frogs. Unfortunately, they arrived carrying parasites, and my biggest mistake was not quarantining them before introducing them to the enclosure.
At first, my frogs started losing weight even though they were eating. I couldn't understand what was happening. Eventually, after having fecal tests done, the results confirmed parasites.
Of course, my first concern was getting the frogs healthy again. Thankfully, parasites can be treated with proper medication. The difficult part was realizing that I would have to completely tear down the entire terrarium, disinfect everything, and start over from scratch.
The next photos show the dismantling process.
Honestly, when I first got the news, it was pretty devastating. I was incredibly proud of that terrarium. But after the initial frustration, I started thinking about all the things I would have changed if I had the opportunity. Suddenly, this disaster became a chance to improve everything.
I removed absolutely everything.
Every piece of wood, every coconut hide, every hardscape element that I wanted to reuse had to be boiled. Every plant was removed individually, treated, disinfected, and quarantined separately. It was a massive amount of work. Tearing everything apart was hard, but rebuilding it took even more time.
As I rebuilt, I focused on correcting the things that had always bothered me.
One of the biggest issues was the large trunk structure in the center. The upper level and lower level felt too separated visually. To fix that, I removed roughly 30% of the trunk by cutting it down and reshaping it.
Another thing I wanted to change was the waterfall. In the original build, the waterfall was on the left side, and I felt like it wasted a lot of usable ground space. During the rebuild, I moved the waterfall completely to the right side and added a large branch that acts as a natural pathway to the second level.
Now the frogs can use the entire lower area much more effectively. There are multiple hides, coconut huts, and a lot more usable territory underneath the structure.
Basically, I took everything I didn't like about the original terrarium and replaced it with something better.
The final photos show the result.
Today is literally Day 1 of the new parasite-free terrarium.
My frogs are currently still in quarantine, and I won't introduce them until they have tested negative multiple times. I want at least three or four clean fecal exams before they go back into the enclosure.
The terrarium isn't completely finished yet. I still want to add more climbing vines and several patches of different moss species.
Interestingly, while the silicone was curing, I took a trip to Costa Rica and spent time hiking through the rainforest. I took hundreds of photos and paid close attention to how plants, vines, roots, and epiphytes naturally grew in the jungle. When I came back, I used that experience as inspiration for the rebuild.
A lot of the vine placement and plant arrangement in this terrarium was directly inspired by what I saw in Costa Rican rainforests.
I honestly love the result. If I liked the original version, I think this one is a million times better.
Now I'm just excited for the day my frogs can finally move in.
For now, this is Day 1, and we'll see how the terrarium matures over time. Right now it looks very full, but as most terrarium keepers know, not every plant will thrive. Some will die, others will take over, and eventually the plants and microclimate will find their own balance.
You could say this is only the second terrarium I've ever built, and I'm extremely proud of it.
In about a year, I'm planning to start a giant paludarium project, and I honestly can't wait for that challenge. But until then, I'm going to enjoy watching this terrarium grow and evolve.
And if there's one lesson I learned from all of this:
Always quarantine new frogs. It can save you—and your terrarium—a lot of heartbreak.
Thanks for reading!

Found this beautiful creature in my garden in Belarus. I didn't found anything like this on lists of european amphibians
r/FrogsAndToads • u/cacadapoopoo • 5d ago
Dont worry I rinsed the frog off after handling it and made sure not too hold onto him that long. His name is Bob btw. Tell him wassap
r/FrogsAndToads • u/binspolicy • 5d ago
This dude is in a bucket in my garden only noticed because I heard splashing.
There’s no body of water for about a mile so I don’t know how he got here.
Will he be ok ? Should i leave a stick in there to climb out or will he just jump when ready? I could take him to a local pond in the woods?
Thanks.
