Interesting discovery today

[emandkel]

I have a frog that is missing most of it's toes from it's back right leg. JUST noticed this this evening while I gave him a soak. This one came from Petsmart a couple? of months ago -- thinking he/she was already 2 - 2.5" long. It gets around just fine, jumps, etc. Fairly good eater too. I *hope* I got this frog this way and it's not something that happened since I got it. Seems like I should have noticed earlier. Regardless, the foot looks fine, no sign of injury or redness.

He/she is now about 3.5" and I'm guessing it's a male, although it doesn't have nuptial pads yet. I know my other Petsmart frog (one of my first pacs), took a long time to really get noticeable nuptial pads, maybe at 6 - 7 months old. In comparison, my albino male and two of my fantasy frogs showed nuptial pads probably around 4 months old or so.

Here's a couple of pics I took tonight:



I love the rust coloring this little guy has and am happy I have him.

Edit: Looked back in my pictures and it looks like I got him mid-November so I've had him/her 3 months.

It is actually common for them to be missing digits sometimes. Those that are really eager feeders will bite their fingers or even their whole hand while hurrying to shove food in their mouths. Missing rear digits is either from them not developing properly, an injury, or were eaten by fellow tads in early metamorphosis.

Sounds like low humidity to me though.
