6 day old tadpoles. They started feeding on day 5 (I mean when they had been hatched for 5 days).

that is sweet

[Kurt]

They are pretty compared to my red-eye tadpoles. My tadpoles are getting huge and they are ravenous. I swear they would chew my arm off if I gave them a chance.

36 days from the day they were laid as eggs I had my first two metamorphs / froglets. Here's one:

I have been looking to get a cope`s Grey treefrog Hyla chrysoscelis

In Virginia We have alot of different tree frogs in the wild but remember kids a wild animal is not a pet so only keep captive bred

[John]

Why particularly Cope's?

[Kurt]

Its funny how much your froglets look like mine.

I don`t know there native to Virginia so are Hyla versicolor but the cope`s is a rare site. I wonder if anyone is breeding them¿ Before I`m done I hope to have the following.

Hyla versicolor
Hyla squirella
Hyla gratiosa
Pseudacris brimleyi

I already have Lithobates palustris and Hyla cinerea witch are native to Va also.

[Kurt]

Gratiosa are all over the internet for sale right now, just check the classified at Kingsnake.com. Nobody breeds versicolor, except this Irish guy I know. You should probably check in with the VHS http://fwie.fw.vt.edu/VHS/

Of witch I`m a member

[Kurt]

Excellent. Do you know John White?

[tattooed81]

Yeah he helped write "Road Mortality Of Snakes In Central Virginia" I have never met him but I understand he is a upstanding guy

[Kurt]

I believe him to be. He provided pictures the NEHS' web site and more recently provided me with pics for my White's treefrog article.
