Jemma 0 Report post Posted March 11 Hi I’m 13 and been selling tadpoles and frogs for a few years, this year I have come across a frog and I think it looks like a albino frog. Has anyone seen this before? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanmin4304 94 Report post Posted March 11 It is not albino as it would have red eyes if it was. I have a leucistic frog which is yellow with red eyes. It is a light colour but has a patch of green on the side. It is possible to have a partial leucistic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jemma 0 Report post Posted March 12 The dark patch on its side appeared after it ate a large fly, as it’s quite see through. Hard to get a good photo... Is it rare to have such a frog? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanmin4304 94 Report post Posted March 12 It is rare. Albino is a gene for lack of melanin and leucistic is a gene for lack of colours such as melanin. green, blue etc. My leucistic is a yellow colour with red eyes and yours looks almost translucent like it only has melanin. You can get black birds with white patches because of partial leucistic. 1 Jemma reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
