Sogy6789 sorry your mistaken its a Green Frog (Rana clamitans melanota)lateral lines present. Also frogs are legal to posses in Michigan, and eat if you wanna! LOL! Not that we would... He was released so we could maybe get to see more.

Isnt a "blue phase" common to a few frog species?

[tbadour]

Common is -One in a Million in Green frogs

[an1m4ls4p3ts11]

yeah I would have kept it as a pet. I would have put it in a real big aquarium and bread it then let the tadpoles go back into the pond

Thank you for posting your video of this unusual Green Frog! I've just seen one yesterday, here in Ontario, Canada for the first time! The one I saw was only teal on its head & neck. Good to know it's not been exposed to something toxic, as I first wondered. A reptile & amphibian field guide says that Green Frogs can even be electric blue. I wonder if you've seen any more since then.

I would pay for that frog... wow... I wish you had kept it. It is probably recessive to normal.. darn it

[BASHMAN9t5]

i would pay 200 dollars for that frog on the spot

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but blue (green) frogs aren't that uncommon. When you mix yellow and blue, you get green, right? Blue frogs are just lacking yellow pigment, leaving the blue expose. This can go on the back, legs, or all over the frogs body. It's a genetic disorder. No doubt, that is one of the most wonderful examples I've ever laid eyes on. Great job collecting it.

Is it for sale, i will give you $95 for that frog! I am not joking at all.

i live on the mississippi gulf coast &live a block 1/2 from the gulf of mexico. in the ditch in front of the house i saw a black bullfrog there was no other color on him (even the throat & underside were black) and a few days later my fiance saw him also . does anyone know or have pictures of one?

[masorex]

yea this is cool, its probably not a mutation, its just like having black or blond hair, its just very rar cause the green is most likely dominant, we were talking about this in science, my science teacher breeded frogs with someone and there is a specific type that now adays its so rare to find in blue that they sell for around 500$ each, u should have looked into breading if u didnt let it go, although u might have needed another blue one

[pinoyangelfish]

Beautiful blue color. Do you still have him/her? Have you considered breeding him/her? I posted a video response of a blue paddy frog which i hope is carrying a genetic mutation.

The combination of green legs and blue back of your frog is very nice.
