I got this tadpole, and I'm not sure what kind it is. Its about 1.5 inches long, a brown with black spots, and its eyes are to the side. It already has hind legs. I will try to post pictures but I have been having complications. Additionally it came from south west Florida. Thank you. https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/webkit-fake-url://69AF8A76-96D6-4440-938F-9F4C05BEED74/imagejpeghttps://www.askmehelpdesk.com/webkit-fake-url://2387BD39-7D35-48F9-A7B6-31D804FDB19C/imagejpeghttps://www.askmehelpdesk.com/webkit-fake-url://3F6D5315-D276-42C8-BAAF-4FAE34E9DBBF/imagejpeg

With eyes on the sides, it is well on the way to becoming a frog. Most frogs are green/brown with black spots. My guess would be a Southern Leopard Frog.

It is a frog.

Sorry I couldn't be any more descriptive. The picture attatchments didn't go through I guess... I mean maybe the fact that it has legs and its size can tell you about the age, and different frogs are different sizes even at the same age. Thanks for the help guys:-) TheNatureGirl
