Here are some up to date pictures of the tadpoles I showed a few months ago. I thought they might be Rana utricularia, Southern Leopard Frogs, and looking at those beautiful unbroken dorsolateral ridges, light line on upper lip and vibrant colors I am pretty sure they are. I am not sure how light the spot in the tympanum is supposed to be, but they are still babies, so maybe they will become more pronounced later. I won't be able to tell though, these things eat like crazy, so I'm turning the poor babies out when they lose their tail.
Looking at them just makes your want to start knitting baby blankets, doesn't it?
