taking good pictures of rarities like that is enough

A frog that size is vulnerable, but if you want to keep it you need to know how. I can't tell you that for sure (although I don't think Rana temporaria are fussy feeders) but I'm sure if you don't know then other frog keepers here should have some idea. Come on peeps!

Keep us posted anyway!

before i start my essay lol i would just like to say what a great frog, i have neve seen a albino version before, excellent find....

as for keeping a frog you have found in the garden in the uk is not something as an amature frog keeper you should consider as WC animals tend to be more fragile and its harder to re-create a natural environment for them as they are use to the wild....

if you do decide to keep the frog here are some things to consider. the first thing would be the temprature, as we all know the uk is cold and misserable, so you would have to keep the tank in a cool place, because glass vivs hold the heat and with your heating you will struggle to keep it cool. the second thing to consider is the viv, you would need a large one, my choice would be an exo terra, as theese frogs will grow fairly large and are quiet active. the next thing would be feeding, i am sure they will take crickets, wax worms, earth worms, flys and small hoppers all of which will need to be dusted with a calcium and a vitamin supplement. the last thing would be water, theese frogs can swim and you would need a quiet large water area that is either filtered or changed daily.

if you do decide to keep the frog i would be more than happy to help you but i would suggest getting a few more good quality pictures and letting him go near were you found him. if you release him do it at night. if you are set on keeping him make sure he is kept moist and away from any major heat until your viv is set up....

it's probably the only WC british frog that i would consider keeping.
he's not camouflaged because he's not his normal colour. so chances are his life will be very short and end as food for some predator.

all you have to do now is find another one and breed them, then we have a new form for the hobby.
