 What Am I?

My taddy just grew her arms last night, and I am setting up her half and half tank today. Can anyone id her for me, so I can better customize her tank?
I live in central FL, and she was found in a swimming pool by my friend.
Thanks,
Amy

LOL, thanks anyway...she is really cute!

I just talked to my friend on the phone...most of her tads have already morphed completely, and they are some type of tree frog she says. They are suctioning themselves to the sides of the tank as they morph..lol!
So...what type of tree frog?? Anyone??

Amphib, thats nothing like a peeper.and even if it was... that tadpole is bigger than most peepers
but looking at body shape i would most likely say treefrog.
and because of size of this larvae I would say a large species of tree frog... like a cuban.

Very often pics, camera angles, and other things do not show some quallity of the frog that is key to Identifying it.
So, you may not forsure know untill a couple weeks.

Good Luck with him!

ok here’s the link

http://www.dnr.state.md.us/wildlife/northern_spring_peeper.html


there you go just read it all but pay attention to the paragraph’s next to the pic of the eggs and pencil in the lower of the two you find the sentence "Peeper tadpoles are bigger than the adult peepers."
