Hi,
First timer here.
So I found this little frog (2cm) in my garden.

At first I thought it was Bird-voiced tree frog Hyla avivoca which isn't common in my area, Cincinnati, Ohio but I'm thinking it might be the common Gray tree frog, Hyla versicolor which I didn't know comes in green as well.

hmm, I guess I can't post pictures...
Here's a direct link

I checked out the hind legs and don't see any bright colors. It's still pretty small/young so maybe no colors.

Yeah, one of those two hylids is my guess. Think you'll have to wait for the adult coloration to develop (that looks like a metamorph) before you can conclusively ID the frog as already discussed.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
