For the reptiles and amphibians merit badge one of the requirements is to observe a reptile or amphibian for one month. So I bought a tadpole and I am going to observe it for the next 30 days. So below there will be a picture of the tadpole for each day. This is to show the changes the tadpole goes through in its life.
Day one Tadpole arrives
Day 2 Tadpole in fish bowl. Phillip (the tadpole) looks like an small eel. He has no arms or legs and a long tail.
Day 3 Phillip has little legs visible in his body though not visible in this picture.
Day 4 Phillip moves into a new tank as the fishbowl was too small. No noticeable change in Phillips body today.
Day 5 Phillip has become more active than the last few days. He has been jumping out of the water to play.
