    Should be soon! Once 4 legs are formed the metamorphosis is not far away. If you are have not done so; now is a good time to prepare a ramp like access to dry area in tank. Can be done by creating a dam; using a turtle dock; or having a mass of plants frog can climb into.

    Rana's do well when in mixed water and dry enclosures. This care sheet should work for them even if written for the Leopard Frog: Frog Forum - Leopard Frog Care - Rana pipiens (Schreber, 1782) and R. sphenocephala (1886). Myself prefer a ratio of 75-60 water and the rest dry; but most keepers do 50-50.

    Species final size will determine aquarium size. If a Bullfrog; you might want to consider grabbing a 55G before the $1 a gallon sale at Petco ends later this month. A mature Bullfrog will use all that tank and if a larger female, will eventually need a larger one .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
