Should I Relocate This GTF?

[skakavacjakovac]

You know it is funny...The lady who i spoke to, even went as far as to say, that you must not mix in your enclosure with wild caught & captive bred frogs,,,for that exact reason as you mentioned! She said they could be kept in the same room but different enclosures. Boy... didnt she lead me up the garden path!!

Thanks for all the advice guys!
but as i didnt have a sufficient set up with all things needed e.g UV light and large tank, and didnt want him to be in a little temp. cage till i went and got another one so I released him where I found him and havnt seen him since, hopefully hes moved on to a safer place!
Thanks again!

G'day guys,

Relocating ANY species of frog is generally not recommended in most circumstances. The reason been is a fungal infection that is implicated in the demise and extinction of many frog species.

thanks for that bit f info
Also does anyone know the growth rate of these guys?
As i released 2 young GTF not far from where this one was found about 3 months ago about 2cm long, this one is about 5 i think. Im hopless at estimating lengths without a ruler or something.
Could this be one of them?
I hope so that would be cool to know they are still alive
