Varadero tadpoles metamorphosing

[John]

No SLS yet. Hatch to metamorphosis can be anywhere between 50 and 75 days.

Here are two stills shot remotely from a web cam this evening. The first photo shows the male calling (he's trying to get the female out of the lower bromeliad so she can follow him to feed other tadpoles). You can also see a froglet (one of the later tadpoles in the previous shots in this thread). The second shot shows the female following the male to the upper bromeliad to feed some tadpoles.

VERY cool. I look forward to seeing more frog porno!

Nice John, Thanks for sharing.

Great looking froglets. That's the most exciting part to me.

Here's the first tadpole, now the first froglet, 9 days after his last photo:
