Identify a froglet

K_K Aug 15, 2006 10:11 AM

Hi,
New to frogs in general... I've been raising a tadpole for a while now on lettuce and its gained lungs, limbs, and is rapidly absorbing its tail. It is very small and almost certainly a tree frog because it tends to climb to walls of its tank.

Its legs are banded w/ dark and light, almost transparent brown. The rest of the body is brown and slightly mottled. My best guess is a Spring Peeper, but does anyone have another idea?

Thanks,
K_K

It could be a spring peeper or even a chorus frog...however, a picture would make it more easier to determine. You can also do a google search on Ontario/Quebec frog species, check at local reptile shows/groups for local herpers you can show the frog to in person to better identify it.

Since it is leaving the tadpole stage, deffinitely get youself stocked on flightless fruitflies to feed the little froglet.
