Tadpole identification?

[Deku]

If its a spring peeper, worry not. They're treefrogs. Wood frogs, leopard frogs, and the other Ranids are some what aquatic, so again no worries. Now if its an Anaxyrus americanus, which I don't think it is, there is a good chance of it drowning.

I can defenitely 100% say that it does not look anything like a toad tadpole. Ussually toad tadpoles are dark brown or jet black. This looks like atreefrog tadpole to me. I see a ton of them in this place I used to see alot of frogs. I used to catch them. But I dont know how to get past the toadlet/froglet stage. xD

Crystal, How did you find it? I looked desparately in a wetland where bunches of Sping Peeper were calling here in Michigan, but found none. Are you warm to breed earlier there in Maine? I think our season started about the second week in April

I didn't actually, someone gave it to me.

But I did find one in a ditch along a railroad track once. (Or more like... several eggs that led to hundreds of tadpoles...)

I'm not sure about the temperature. It seems like the second the snow is gone we have frogs up here. (I've also seen tadpoles in lakes and even deep* puddles.)

When did your ponds lose their ice? The peepers started calling almost immediately after around here, and that was early April. They just stopped calling about a week or week and a half ago in that wetland where I looked.

Ask that person how he or she found them!

I have had tadpoles clear it on their own. It is an internal infection called Dropsy, the best treatment is to clean up the tank water and if you want to risk skin damage treat with something like Fishcyline. If he is dead... at least you know for the future. As for identification, the USGS has a comprehensive tadpole key. I could ID him if I had pictures at a full dorsal, ventral, and profile shot.
