The only time I've seen leopard frogs look like yours is when the local petshop (who gets their fish from breeders in Florida) happens to get a few of them in their fish stock; they look exactly the same.
Froggo is shy, but I think they've gotten better. I'm kinda surprised I was able to get the first shot without them hopping for cover.
And I'm not sure where our supplier is from, but it would make total sense if it was indeed from some where in Florida. I wonder if that means the crayfish I have in his own tank is a southern specie; I'm the guy who will willingly take any free critter home if we can't sell them at the store and I have room for them.
Not so worried about the crayfish though, he's a riot to watch (he's terrified of the guppies he is supposed to eat!) and has been molting regularly. So I know i'm doing right by him.
