So I found a nice fat tree frog in the leaves of my Enc. today. Is this going to be a problem to where I should relocate him? Thanks!!

He's beautiful. In Florida it's common to see frogs and lizards among the chids...sometimes even snakes. Tree frogs are beneficial to have around. They eat insects and are no menace to orchids. He'll do no harm other than leaving little poops here and there.

He seems very happy ad content. I just wanted to make sure he would do no harm. Thanks Junebug!!

Nice Pic! He is a good creature, and he's fat must be doing his job. If he hangs around give him a name like kermit or Mr. Green.

No problem. Glad to help. A lot of people are frightened by tree frogs but they don't bite. They can be slimy to touch and tend to loose control of their bladder when captured, but they won't hurt you. Oh yeah, they do jump long distances too, especially when startled, and sometimes they'll accidentally land on a human.
