I'd have to say photo-wise the credit lies with the tadpole who so generously stayed in place for a nearly a full minute while I took the pictures. :)
Yes, these are African Clawed Frogs, so named due to the three black claws on their feet used to kick at and tear up anything they can't swallow whole.
:O what you gonna do with them?? Please dont say dissect!!
Heavens no, I know a wholesaler who sells exclusively to local small pet shops, Once they become froglets, they're going there, though I have someone who's asked me to ship them one for their family so that leaves the 81. (Also, as far as I'm aware, most of the universities either have their own breeding setups or mostly just by from select large breeders.) Fun fact: These little fellows were used in hospitals and labs from the 1930s to 1950s as pregnancy tests.
