Yahoo!!! I've got frogs!

Well make that A frog

I just got home (12:30) Checked the 100 gal pond, saw two tiny eyes
staring at me from the frog ramp I installed two weeks ago when I
purchased 13 tadpoles.
I can't imagine that it is one of the tadpoles already, as he (it)is
only 1" long and the tadpoles were 2-3" long. Also he is pale green with
faint brown spots and the tads are deep dark brown. So I imagine that he
is a product of the pond from last year, or he snuck in attached to the
new anacharis, water lettuce, and WH that I picked up two days ago.

Well Anyway I am happy to see him, and hope he finds his new home to his
liking.

Congratulations! I love it when I can see one of the frogs.....I find them
so cute!

If he's a bullfrog, you won't like it when he eats your tadpoles.

He appears to have Leapord spots. but it is really hard to identify him
at this stage of his life.

I don't think I will have that problen, at least right now.
Since the frog is 1/3 the size of the smallest tadpole.
A tadpole leg would be more than a mouthfull.

Please Tony, NO!! You'd look dreadful in a basque and fishnets..

I've got one frog also, saew him hanging out on a lily pad this morning
and got my camera quick. By he end of August I will have lots of frogs,
especially in my two other fishless ponds. Those two ponds just have
floating plants like water hyacinth and lettuce.

Thanks Denise, glad you liked them.
TThey were taken with a Lumix (Panasonic) FZ10.

Has a 35 - 420mm equivalent Leica lens. Pics were about f5.6 with 1/2 second exposure.

I'd say the greenfrog is a greenfrog, as the ridge runs from the eye to the
hind legs, and does not turn down to the front legs. I'd also guess that is
it female, as it does not have a bright yellow chin. That yellow frog looks
like my nephews african frog, which are apparently in pet stores, but I
can't identify it for sure.
