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.

Yes, and then remove the snake temporarily, disinfect the viv and all the hardscape, discard and replace the substrate. Then either put together an appropriate enclosure for the frog or humanely euthanize it; do not release it.
Mixing any species is a bad idea, but if one of them is WC it is a worse idea.

Yes releasing is a way better option in my opinion especially if the frog is endemic to that area.
I don't think the corn will eat it, also in my opinion I would let thm coexist. To each his own.
Good luck in whichever u choose.

Releasing it risks introducing novel pathogens to the local environment that it may have picked up in captivity. The life of one frog is not worth that risk, especially given the terrible state of affairs wild amphibians are currently in.
I personally don't think keepers should do whatever they want with their animals, especially when those choices impact wild populations (which, as a legal matter, belong to us collectively).
Rereleasing of WC native wildlife is also restricted or prohibited in some areas/states because of this risk (among other reasons). This isn't to say that this is the case where you live, it is to say that some natural resources agencies have recognized these risks.

What is important is taking the time to do research if one is keeping critters, and keep them in the best possible environment and look out for their health and safety.
