I hate it when it's warm/wet out around our place. You can't help but run some over while driving. I am very careful about it but still.. it bites and I feel your pain.

If I remember correctly, bullfrog color comes from a mixture of two pigments, blue and yellow, making them their pretty green. Blue bullfrogs are missing the yellow pigment, and are absolutely awesome. I'm guessing this is an example of the opposite, the first I've seen! Lucky you!! Awesome pictures.

It's a female bullfrog, not an albino, just a really pretty off-color. I currently have three I adopted from a family that found them in the sump pump of their home. I'm going to hold them until spring and then release them into our lake in front of our house. Luckily, there are so many bullfrogs there already that these guys won't make a big difference in the grand scheme of things.
