    Default Identification Help!!!

    I have a tadpole that is almost a full froglet (It has back legs and one front leg popped out today) and I can not tell if it is a bullfrog or a Leopard frog and I was wondering if there were any tell tale signs that it is one or the other. I bought it in November and it had tiny nubs for legs. over the last 4 months it has grown full back legs and got front legs.

    Pictures are below.

    Welcome to the frog forum Emily ! Based on color alone, I would say Leopard frog. Leopard frogs are an olive color while Bull frogs are usually bright green. How long is the tadpole?

    It is about 2 to 3 inches long

    Sounds like you have a leopard frog for sure. Be happy that you won't have to buy a 100 gallon bullfrog tank . 20-30 gallons for an adult leopard .

    I was really hoping it was a leopard frog. I was unsure because some of the pictures I looked up the leopard tadpoles were pale tadpoles.
