Pacific chorus frogs are found from California to BC I believe, and they stay very, very small. I have never seen one over 2 inches, and the care sheets say they stay at 2 inches. You're in NC, not near where I am

Maybe your frog is in here.

Then it wasn't a pacific chorus frog. (Pseudacris regilla, or Hyla regilla)These guys transform to land dwelling adults at about 60-90 days from hatching, or 1cm long (Chantel's little guy just transformed, you can tell by looking at his mouth area) and max out at around 5cm. In fact, most of the ones you'll find are smaller than 5cm.

As was mentioned already, these are west coast frogs. Nearly every time you hear a frog calling in a hollywood movie, it's this frog you're hearing. Your chorus frog is probably Pseudacris ornata. But still shouldn't be the size of your fist.

Tadpoles are easy to raise but frogs require a constant abundant supply of soft-bodied insects to stay healthy. They need to eat several times a day or at least eat very well once a day. Forget about this "about 4 times weekly" you'll hear on the internet. That only applies to full grown frogs that eat a very large meal at one sitting. Adults do well eating flies and small earthworms. Little ones like this one could be a challenge or expensive to keep fed properly unless you have your own continuous supply of fruit flies.

Just keep a close eye on their appearance. If they don't look plump and rounded, and start to look a little caved-in, they're not getting enough to eat.

He's eaten a couple fruit flies today, and since he's so tiny right now, I'm not worried about him eating too much. We have some more wingless fruitflies wandering in the tank, so if he's hungry he's not going to starve. Besides, we also have a lot of baby house flies that are constantly born near one of our windows, which I'm sure he'll eat too.

That frog is adorable.

[kibakiba]

Isn't he? He chased my finger when I was trying to grab a fly for him. He's just nomnomnomin' away on them

[kibakiba]

Frogger is one loud frog. He's on the edge of his water dish with one of the wingless flies sitting on his head, peeping the night away. I didn't think baby frogs croaked too much, if at all. Maybe he's thanking me for the flies, his belly is pretty big right now.

I keep several.. what species of milk snake is it?

A picture would certainly help.

Also before a mod steps in, try sSnakeSs.com , the forum is owned by the same person as this one, but it is a more generalized herp forum and not Thamnophis specific like this one.

We have a wide variety of milk snake owners there.

they don't seem to be taking new members there right now, the button is broken. She is a common I believe, caught in NY. Nothing wrong with her visually, she just likes to chew on the clear plastic of her cage trying to get out. I'm not sure if it's bad for her mouth at the least.

Weird. It obviously wasn't a chourus frog... I mean, it was, but it was one biiiiiig chorus frog!

That's extremely odd, I welcomed 9 new members this morning alone.

If you want I can just clone your info from here and set you up.
