Caught this guy yesterday... I'm a reptile guy. Own boas and had my first successful breeding for the first time just a week ago. And yesterday me and my cousin were bored at night so we went bull frog hunting and we came across this guy.
I know a little about genetics in reptiles, especially snakes(constrictors) but I have no idea what's going on with this bull frog. I'm hoping to god some of you will chime in and say what I hope you guys will say; that this looks like some type of morph, but to be honest-as I said- I'm no expert when it comes to amphibians.
He doesn't seem like a leucistic to me because his eyes are NOT jet black. In fact his eyes look like any other eyes on an American bull. I can't imagine him being albino because he does have the classic green splotches on his back and especially around his eyes and on the head.
I'm kind of just waiting for one of the experts(you guys) to pop in and give me the bad news; that this is some type of disease or deformity already known to the amphibian community. Because this is the first year I ever attempted breeding boas and for a first time me and my cousin had a massive success. So if this bull were to be expressing some kind of rare genetic trait and we just happened to catch him in the same week that we had our first litter of 27 boas.... I don't know it just seems way to good to be true.
Opinions?
thanks in advance for those of you out there with some input on this. It is EXTREMELY APPRECIATED.
Thanks for looking.
