Brhino and Daughter's Frog Adventure

[kampmanfan4life]

It's hard to see, but that tad is getting legs. Warming the water slightly might help. Are they leaning on floating objects a lot? This means legs soon as well.

I agree, I had some a long time ago and I remember they were about hat size. About that big ones size is when I think mine got legs...they're coming on that one, slowly!

any updates on this Brhino?

[Brhino]

I've fallen behind in my photodocumenting, haven't I? Well, they're still alive, and they still don't have legs. I took some pictures, but now the camera is on the fritz so I can't upload them.

[patinthehat]

do they have legs yet?

[Brhino]

The largest of the three has just now started to grow a leg.

I know I have shown grainy photos with something coming out of the back of the tadpole before, but this time it is 100% for sure. I can see toes and everything. It's only on the biggest tadpole and it may only be on one side so far.

It's gotten quite a bit warmer around here, and as a result the room with the tank in it has gone from about 71 degrees average to higher than that, sometimes up to 80 degrees in the middle of the day. I think that may have triggered this tadpole to finally start transforming.

Love this thread!

Here it is, a week later:

Still just the biggest tadpole that's growing legs. Definitely one leg on each side, too.

[patinthehat]

sure is taking these buggers a long time to grow their legs lol

[Brhino]

got a pretty clear overhead view while I was doing a water change. It's still just the largest tadpole with legs, but they're coming along nicely.
