Tadpole Pics!!

Since you've said they were from Florida in another thread, here's a detailed guide to the tadpoles from the southeastern US: Guide to Tadpoles

Most of the native species are included. Yours won't be Rana erythraea unless something really odd has happened.

that's why I have to see the tadpole with legs so that we can identify it,because it's adulthood color would be shown.

Take a look at the tadpole guide I linked to, there are quite a few pictures of tadpoles with their legs out and pictures of the adult version on the same page. The tadpoles legs are not miniature adult legs, they generally have the immature colour and pattern that the tadpole itself has.

The OPs are not Rana erythraea because that is a frog from Asia, not Florida.

How come last time my Rana Erythraea show it's color in adulthood when it spread out its legs? and also isnt his tadpole a bullfrog? it's quite big

I'm just saying it's not a rule that the tadpoles legs are the same as the adults, and that they often don't match for the Florida natives.

There are other tadpoles that get 2.5" (and larger) and he said some were 1". Bullfrog is possible, but it's hard to tell from these pictures.

yeah because it's zoomed in maybe a overhead view would help right?
