A local herpetologist took a look at this fellow says its hard to tell but it may be a hybrid he says it is defiantly not a northern leopard. It could be a Lithobates palustris (Pickerel Frog). He said that it would be eaiser to tell what it is if i grow him. So I will wait and see when he reaches adulthood.

I am 100% certain that it is a Lithobates palustris and I am local herpetologist, if you're in Masachusetts.

I trust your opinion Kurt. He said that if was more than likely the picer frog but it would be easier to tell when it grows up

[Kurt]

I can tell now. Seen a lot of palustris froglets over the years.

[tattooed81]

do they sell them in petstores petco had this one for adoption but they dont sell them

[Kurt]

They don't in New England, because they are native and its illegal to sell native wildlife.

I think random stuff shows up in Petco occasionally, either because of an employee bringing it in or a wholesaler having a random frog in a collection group of another species. If you are looking for another you will almost certainly have to catch it yourself. I think it's a Pickerel too - there's not much else it can be.
