Can size of eyes indicate age?

[Kristen87]

Hi All,

I'm curious, can the size of a frogs eyes indicate their age or do they just vary depending on the frog? I have 2 white's and they are both about the same size. I figured they were around 12months old or so when I bought them a few months back because they aren't fully grown yet, but while their bodies are the same size that's about where the similarities end... Most noticably, Miss Turtle's eyes are about twice the size of my other frog, Ninja's. So as stated... Could this mean Miss Turtle is older than Ninja or does the size of eyes just naturally vary so much from frog to frog?

I can't post a pic because I'm at work but Miss Turtle's eyes are literally twice the size of Ninja's, its not just a little difference.

Edit: Although Miss Turtle has the same size body as Ninja, its possible she's older than she looks because she has trouble catching food and I think she was malnourished when I bought her, which would account for her being smaller than she should be.

I read the more white spots on the Whites back the older they are. Mine is about 15+ years and he is covered. I am not sure about anything else lol

Hmm neither of mine have any white spots so that doesn't help me! lol
Eye size probably doesn't indicate age then I guess, since if it did people would probably know about it and this post would have more comments :P

I cant really comment cause I have 3 Whites but all their eyes are about the same size but that is because they are all aboiut the same age so I would be a bad test case.

Well, your case is a point on the side of eye size DOES indicate age, because they're all the same age with eyes about the same size... But it could also just be coincidence and it might be possible for same aged frogs to have different sized eyes lol. Anyone else with more than one WTF able to throw in their comparison? lol

Well compare my whites with yours lol hes a grandpa look at his eyes! hah
