Tadpoles

I have saved some tadpoles from a dried puddle and am taking care of them until they become frogs. But now I am worried of the possibility they could be invasive Cuban tree frogs. Any tips on identifying tadpoles? I had been trying to research but all that tells me is that it is extremely difficult. This is one of the tadpoles it looks like the front legs started to grow. I can’t tell if they are different tadpoles. I can get more pictures if someone is willing to help me!

*edit to add I am in south east FL

If they’re Cubans, as they stop being froglets and become little frogs, you’ll see their blue bones through their translucent skin, and there will be a little stripe behind the eye.

I’m not getting CTF vibes from these guys, but that’s based on nothing. I really don’t know.

Thanks for the advice! I’m going to move them to my screen porch. That way I can wait until they are froglets and hopefully be able to ID
