There is a lot to know about this species and even someone who has raised 100 tadpoles still can learn a few things about them. the only tadpole i have that survived out of over 100 is the only one i put in the fridge for 6 months she was 6 inches long before i took her out and let her morph. all the others succumbed to stress and the infamous chytrid. My Ayra morphed about 18 months ago. not only is she my only survived American bull frog but she dwarfs all other frogs i have seen in the area. She is bigger then my cane toads right now. although my cane toads are not done growing she is still impressive and super healthy. I totally believe the amount of time i kept her as a tad had everything to do with why she is still with me and healthy.
