The first time Calico Jack escaped I caught him right away and after returning him to the tank secured the lid with clips at each corner. Apparently this was not enough to cure his wanderlust, as I found him this afternoon on the floor. He was pretty dry and appeared to be dead, but I put him in a tub of dechlorinated water with an airstone to oxygenate the water a bit. He wasn't stiff when I picked him up and hasn't stiffened up at all in the ~3 hours since I found him. The water got rather cold so I set the tub on a heating pad and he has since gone from dark to bright green.
Would a dead frog still change color? I'm not sure if he's actually alive at this point, but I'm waiting for signs of rigor before I declare him dead. Is there anything else I can do for him?
