    we use the term for geckos too i was thinking about the same, may be it is a new mutation? cos it looks like not just deferent colored eyes but spots of different skin color too, or it is just a pic?
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    I would definitely get with some snake people on forums, they definitely are the best with genetics. This is different from a piedbald because they still have black eyes and have leucistic traits, not albino ones. I highly doubt this frog is genetic though.

    I dont think its pied . It lacks the normal skin color and white patches that most pied animals have .Nor would I think its amel or albino . The genetics would be hard to prove id think with over a thousand offspring from almost unknown origins with multiple males and females all spawning together . You just couldn't narrow down the parents and even breeding it to a normal wouldnt work because im pretty sure that most normal pac mans are het albino . That is assuming that frog genetics are like snake genetics in simple recessive terms . With a oddball snake you breed it to a known normal and breed the offspring back to the odd parent if the oddball trait doesnt show up in the first breeding of it .It will be intersting to see how this comes out and hopefully the little tadpole pollywog does well and you can raise it up and get a chance a recreating it .

    Yeah every living organism works off the same genetic principles. The only thing that would be extremely difficult is exactly what Cwcuz2112 said; it would be way too hard to narrow down the specific genetics of each froglet with the method required to breed them successfully. Plus, like he said, there really is no way to know the existing genetics of the parents themselves.
