    Hello Carlos. I searched a bit and found out that the my visitor also looks like an Occidozyga Laevis (Puddle Frog). But the Occidozyga Laevis has a stripe on its back. Maybe my visitor is a occidozyga laevis froglet?

    Yes I saw that the GBF is from Australia, just thought that someone might have brought a few specimens here a few decades ago and some might have been released or some might have escaped into the wild and flourished here.

    Puddle Frog (Occidozyga laevis; Figure 4.1C), having stout body, very muscular short legs, fully webbed toes, lacking horny teeth and it can live from polluted puddles in areas of human habitation to pools of clear mountain streams (Alcala and Brown 1998). No clear mountain streams in my area, only polluted rivers hahaha.

    I attached a picture of a Puddle Frog (Occidozyga laevis). Looks similar to my visitor.

    I want it to be a GBF lol
