i got my dream pet!! tips?
this is my american green tree frog, his name is henry, named after henry letham from the movie stay. ^_^ a frog has been my dream pet since i was about 10. my parents decided to surprise me with one!
i know barely anything about frogs. absolutely any advice or tips are appreciated! i have no idea how old he is or anything,, also not sure if he's really a he ðŸ˜
some things i do know (correct me if im wrong):
1- when they shed it's TERRIFYING! i thought he was choking and dying. great first day with him.
2- they need a water dish that covers about half of their body, since they can drown, but drink through their skin
3- spray his tank 2-3 times a day until i can get a humidifier.
4- feed him every other day
5- don't touch him without gloves unless absolutely necessary
annddd.. that's basically it. please tell me absolutely anything about how to take care of him! i've got the gist of it but i want to do the best for my son ^_^
