Could this be a Greenhouse Frog?

It showed up in a 15g tank I had originally kept a pair of juvenile Alanis in.
I built this tank in March. It has housed the Alanis until about July 10th when I moved them to a larger tank.
I moved this tank to the bottom of my rack and it has been sitting empty since; completely closed and pretty much fly proof. It is still connected to my mist system. I noticed today it was getting pretty swampy. Found this little guy on the glass as I went to drain it.
I don't think I added any new plants since the original build. So how did it get in there?
I know greenhouse frogs hatch out as froglets, not tadpoles. But how long do they take from egg to froglet?

No kidding Doug.....Bring a couple.Mind if I bring an empty histrionicus viv over to your place for a while? Just see what happens?
And here I am all excited because I am getting geckos that clone themselves to procreate while you have a TRUE MIRACLE of a frog that spontaneously generated from nothing. Science hasnt' been able to show how life began, and here you are creating frogs from thin air .
(seriously, this is a cool story)

Update:
So I've pretty much ignored this tank for nearly a year, dropped some flies in once in a while when I thought about it and drained it a couple times. Every few weeks I would spot a flash of brown in there so I knew he was still around. I started hearing a strange call a few months ago, like a squeaky wheel.
Turns out there are at least three adults. Today I was trimming some plants that were starting to push the glass lid up and found a few babies.
Finally decided to get a few photos of these little guys.

Wanna send me some?
Seriously, though, I have been wanting to get some of these.
