I might still be wrong (western chorus frog)

[Froginator473]

If you have seen my introduction, i was showing a video of my tadpoles which I think belong to a western chorus frog. I have seen the adult in real life (It even got on my hand for a while)



If this is a western chorus frog tadpole, tell me please? I don't want to mistake it. Oh and I also heard the call of the adult it sounded like one too. So I am prettg sure I'm right. It sounded like a Cree-eee-ee-eek.

I have a special tadpole also. They usually turn clear in the dark, but one of them stays transparent the whole day! Since I named all of my tadpoles "Swimmy" (there were too many to count) I call this one "Special swimmy" and I'm wondering, Does Special swimmy have a certain gene or condition that makes him clear all day and night?

I cannot wait to see what they look like when they are all grown up. But I will miss them when they go back into the under-the-road-pond where I found them...

Thanks for reading!

Tadpole ID can be quite challenging, even when they can be examined. If you saw Western Frogs around pond, chances are the tadpoles are theirs. "Special Swimmy" could be having some hypo melanism genes, or it could be another frog species. Will need to wait until they are froglets to tell .
