Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

What do I do with it?
This one came climbing out of my bathroom sink drain earlier today. I think it is This
If thats the case than what should i do with it. If its an invasive species I shouldn't release it. I know nothing of caring for a Frog as a pet. Please confirm ID if you can and offer up any suggestions on what you think I should do with it.

Right now it is temporally housed in one of my feeding containers with some damp Sphagnum, and a cocoanut hide.

Looks like a Cuban Tree Frog and if you want to dispose of it I believe you can put Oral Gel on it a that should kill it humanely or you could try giving it to a pet shop.
Hope that helps

It does look like a cuban tree frog. they are great in terrariums and vivariums. Keep it as a pet rather then killing it!!!

While searching for a caresheet i found This.
Maybe the euthanizing of it is the best way to go?

Well, it would be your personal decision. If you have no desire to keep him as a pet, perhaps euthanizing him would be best. I know my son would be thrilled to keep him, he's become fascinated with frogs since we created a terrarium for the gray tree frog he caught.....but then the Cuban frog wouldn't pose any problems if he were to escape here in Iowa, as he would never survive the winters here as opposed to Florida. Too bad Florida is so far, or we'd come pick the little guy up.

Alltough my wife wont be happy about it, i figure why not. I got a 4 year old and 8 year old that would get a kick out of it. I allready have everything i need to house it and crickets are pretty cheap.
I will see how it goes. I still want to know how it made the trip from the city sewer and up thru my drain on the sink.
