Tadpoles - Leopard Frog

These are my new babies. I couldn't get as good of a shot as I wanted to, but I think I did ok with these pics. Chip is the one that has his spots evenly spread out (body and head) and Cookie is the one that has a cluster of spots on her head that looks kind of like a chocolate chip cookie. Her cluster used to be in a perfect circle. The circle has now started to lose it's shape and is just a close cluster of spots, lol. I really don't know if they are boys or girls, but their names are temporary. If anyone has a name suggestion, I would be open to ideas! Enjoy the pics! : )

  2. Cookie and Chip, even though little Chip can't get out of the water, he tries to stay as close as he can to Cookie.

  3. Duplicate, sorry about that.

  8. Cookie sitting next to one of the larger stones in her pond. She is almost as big as the stone!
