Albino Frogs.

My Mum has a small pond in her garden, and every year she gets an awful lot of frog spawn and not long afterwards, loads of baby frogs hopping about everywhere. Well last night, she reckons she saw an albino frog sitting on her back door step. Has anyone else ever seen one of these, (in Britain), or do you reckon she'd been at the sherry?

Re: Albino Frogs.

I'm not a lover of links myself, but this will show that your mum may not have been at the sherry after all.

Thanks for that Mollie. I'd better apoligise tomorrow
I have seen pictures of them in other countries, but never in England.

Re: Albino Frogs.

A chap near me has some in his pond and he is fiercely protective of them his garden is like Alcatraz.

I have kept Albino clawed toads/frogs for a time but they are not very loveable.
THese are the ones which were used in pregnancy tests in "THe old days"

I'll just have to keep my eyes open when I go over there. Trouble is you don't know when it is likely to appear, so I could hang about for days before I see anything, but will keep my phone or camera with me when I go visiting and see what transpires. I agree, it would be very interesting.
