    Default Please Help ID this Frog

    I live in SWFL and caught these outside.

    Noticed lots of tadpoles, which at their largest measured approximately the size of a dime around at the head area and about 1 1/2" total length.

    The tadpoles were black and the froglets would go from brown to tan to eventually a green color. In their brown and tan phase they showed a bright gold line running along side of the body on either side, and as fully developed green frogs they seem to lose the stripe. This stripe goes from over the eye down to the back end. There is also a smaller stripe just below the eye along the jawline.

    I found one ditch with tons of albino tadpoles and collected them to see what came out - have never seen albinos out in the wild.

    I acquired some 1/4" crickets but most of them are about the size of the fully morphed frogs so a bit difficult, if not impossible to eat! and my fruit fly order arrived dead.

    Here are some rough pics - it was difficult to get a closeup of such small frogs without losing focus on my old camera.

    Hopefully someone can help point them out and let me know if they are worth anything or not, common or uncommon.

    Thanks much! Joe


    PS - at this time I have been told they could be green or cuban tree frogs, or maybe even squirrels, but from what i've seen they look nothing like the latter.
