Help identifying tads...

MyNameIsAL Aug 18, 2003 02:41 PM

I have 13 tadpoles that are about 3 months old (Got them as eggs at end of May. They are all varying sizes (somthing to do with pheremones or something). But i'm still not sure what species of frog they are. The largest one (3 1/3 Inches long, 2/3 inches wide). They are a pale green and have small black dots all over the top of their head and tail. There underside is a white bordered by black. I got them from a lake and I live in western Pennsylvania.

At that size i would have to say that they are either Bullfrog tadpoles or Green Frog tadpoles.

That simply is not enough information to provide an accurate identification. Visit the link below and looked through the tutorial. Knowing whether or not the eyes are dorsal will help you narrow it down to family, but that is going to to be as good as it is going to get without the use of a microscope.
