Re: t+ african bullfrog?
Hi. Tbh. this very well can be a T+ albino. You say it has black though? From the pics I don't see any black. Which is a good sign for a t+
"Amelanistic = does not have the pigment named melanin. Melanin produces the black and brown colors. An amelanistic animals could still have red, yellow, blue, and white colors because they are not produced by melanin-based pigments.
Albino = has less than the normal amount of a pigment. It is often synonymous with amelanistic. But depending on useage, it could apply to a non-melanin-based pigment (albino plants have no chlorophyll) or to an animal with some melanin-based pigment.
Tyrosinase negative albino = an animal that lacks melanin because it cannot make tyrosinase. Tyrosinase is an enzyme that catalyses the first two steps of the multistep conversion of an amino acid named tyrosine into melanin.
Tyrosinase positive albino = an animal that can make tyrosinase but cannot produce melanin. Some tyrosinase positive albinos look like tyrosinase negative albinos, and some have some melanin. There are a variety of causes that produce tyrosinase positive albinos, which makes the term nearly useless.
Determining whether an amelanistic creature is a tyrosinase negative albino or a tyrosinase positive albino cannot be done with the naked eye. It requires a tyrosinase test. See Bechtel's book, Amphibian and Reptile Variants, for a description of a tyrosinase test."

Any way you can trace back to where the frog came from? Did you buy it as a normal?
Re: t+ african bullfrog?
The seller called “high yellow african bullfrog”. Maybe imported from USA.
Re: t+ african bullfrog?
Looks like a baby P. angusticeps to me. Haven't seen many babies of that species so I'm not sure exactly how much variation there is or whether this could be normal coloring for their young.
