Really? I had someone else who thought it might be a Bullfrog, but I thought Leopard frog. So vote 1 for me so far. :D

I’m leaning toward bullfrog. Guess we’ll have to wait until it transforms, then we’ll know for sure.

Ok, thanks. After looking at this Link I’m leaning even more towards Leopard frog personally. What about the little guy/girl makes you think Bull frog?

Depends on the type of bullfrog and where it comes from (north or south). Usually a green tadpole with no spots on the tail and a yellowish bottom is a green frog, not a bullfrog.

But if/when it develops dorsolateral ridges on it’s sides, we’ll no for sure it’s a leopard. If there are none, it’s a bull baby.

As for why I think it’s a bull, it looks kind of like mine did when she was a tadpole (mind you, that was about two years ago...but still). Either way, they take the same care requirements, aside from tank size when full grown, so it doesn’t matter too much right now anyway. It’s a cutie either way :)
