    Hello again,
    Just beautiful!
    I wonder if she morphed more quickly?
    Is her skin smoother/thinner than you would expect? Appears so ?

    She is a lucky girl. Like "Cinderella"
    Especially with this species, your snake husbandry experience will be so helpful in caring for her.

    If she were mine, I would contact someone at :
    Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory | About Us
    A researcher there, may really be able to help you understand more about her Leucism.

    That is very unique. If you could breed those they would be extremely popular. I would pay top dollar for several of them. Does anyone on here think if that frog were to breed the young would have similar coloration?

    Hey everyone. At the moment I put her in 55 gallon tank, just the basic necessities for now. I brought her some drift wood to crawl on/under and have some flag stone stacked on one side for her. She's kept in the snake room so she's enjoying 82-85 degree temps with a slight drop off during the night. Most importantly, she's eating like a pig. She didn't hesitate with the couple dozen crickets offered and has small minnows and feeder fish to hunt for is she chooses to do so.

    That was my main priority and concern; getting her to eat and putting weight on her as she is skinnier than normal.
    in the mean time I'll be preparing the 125 gallon or the 7 footer if I manage to get it from my mothers basement over to my house.

    I am also against taking animals from the wild btw. When I say me and my cousin were bullfrog hunting I mean it in a completely recreational, catch and release kind of way as we always do. But I'm not going to lie, I do intend to go back to that lake with regard to finding her a couple breeders. Since if i have any chance of finding het Lucies, it will be from where I found her. I don't like disturbing the wild either but I already have a lot on my hands, a lot of snakes to feed and sell and if I can skip a breeding season by possibly finding a het this year and producing more Lucies the first go round, how can I not help but do that to increase the chances?

    All in all, most importantly she's a gem, she's healthy and she's eating so I'm very relieved. When she puts on more weight I will re post updated pictures of her.

    I have no idea what they'd go for I can't find any listed anywhere on the market for sale. And yeah, I can't wait to either prove/disprove this expressed trait to be genetic or not. Been reading up on a lot of breeding guides, but for now and quite a while all I will be focusing on is getting her and keeping her in immaculate health.

    thanks for looking everyone and thanks so much for all the input and advice.
