I work at a small, local pet store and in January I was checking the feeder fish to make sure there were no dead ones in the tank and noticed a tiny black tadpole in with the feeder guppies (about the size of a pea). I didn't want the little guy to get sold as food on accident so I brought him home with me to my 10 gallon tank that was only occupied by 2 mystery snails to give him a better shot at surviving. It took him a few months but by mid May he was a fully developed frog. He's super healthy and happy, I just can't for the life of me figure out what kind of frog he is. He is about 2 inches long from nose to bum. I suspect he is a Florida species since our feeder fish supplier is based in Florida. Any help in his identification would be greatly appreciated!
Sidenote: He is no longer in the 10 gallon tank now that he is full grown, he is in a 55 gallon that he has all to himself.
The legs look different but the closest florida species is the Southern Leopard frog. Welcome to frog forum by the way
The Frog chooses its owner. Treat your life-long friend with respect and care and it will never disappoint!
