We picked these two up at the Seattle Reptile expo in early june when they were absolutely tiny. No legs, not even any leg...bumps. Just adorable little baby tadpoles. They grew quickly, and as you can see they now have legs and nice little feathery gills:

They're absolutely adorable. About how long? The tank seems pretty spacious :)

Default Re: Our young leucistic and golden albino, ilo & milo:
I apologize for my reply after the initial post. I had another reply box open in another tab for a different forum I'm active on and posted that reply here.

Gleana, I'd say they're about three or three and a half inches at this point. Both equal in length, but our golden is substantially more, er...beefy than our leucistic. I actually feel like they're starting to get a little crowded, so I'm looking forward to moving them into their 40 gallon breeder when we move into our new house in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for your reply!

Thank you. They're both quite the little characters. Such big personalities for such small creatures.
