They may be Northern Spring Peepers but i have not seen the frog yet.(Pseudacris crucifer crucifer)? The tadpoles were about 2&3/4" long

    That sounds awfully big for spring peepers. That's into green frog or bullfrog size.

    I would assume that until they mature, you won't be able to tell. I know that most animals can/will display albinism under many circumstances. This is a link to an article on albinism in American Bullfrogs, even under normal circumstances (not in a cave situation). http://fwie.fw.vt.edu/vnhs/pdf-files/pdf-full-arti...

    Sounds really great though, if you find out definitely, let me know!
