[…]spring and summer. Despite being persistently arboreal, females descend to the ground and bury the eggs in moist earth or below leaf litter. Mature eggs can be seen through the abdominal skin of the females. The eggs hatch in 3-6 months, depending upon temperature, and the young reach adult size […]
[…]the male provides most or all of the parental care (please see photo of male Midwife Toad carrying eggs). Such eggs are generally deposited on land, and direct development (from egg to small frog) is typical. Chiromantis hansenae, by contrast, produces many tiny eggs and deposits them above-ground, and tadpoles […]
[…]eggs sent danger signals, apparently via vibration, to the youngsters within. (Red-Eyed Treefrog eggs are attached to leaves overhanging a pond. When under attack, tadpoles burst from their eggs, fall into the water, and swim off). It is not known whether other of the Delicate Skink’s 10 relatives, collectively known […]
[…]Frog and certain other tadpoles develop within a moisture-retaining nest. The Brown Leaping Frog eggs were at least 10 feet from water, and not in a position to be carried there by rain. Also, this was the first time any frog has been observed attaching eggs to tree bark. A […]
Spring in the northeastern USA is prime time for amphibian watchers. Its arrival is most noticeably announced by frogs – first by spring peepers, Pseudacris crucifer and wood frogs, Rana (Lithobates) sylvaticus, with a succession of others following close behind.

Several males were giving forth their metallic, clicking breeding calls, so […]
[…]to induce egg laying. Odder still, however, was the fact that a male placed in the tank with the eggs (and without the female) on the following day fertilized the eggs. He was in breeding condition, as evidenced by the rough “nuptial pads” along his forearms, and perhaps was responding […]
[…]gray foxes, night herons, alligators and other animals prey upon iguanas, only raccoons take eggs, hatchlings and sub-adults in significant numbers. Iguanas…Here to Stay? Young iguanas are now especially common at the site, pointing towards an even greater population increase in the future. Hand-collection, although possible, is a daunting task, […]
[…]hog nose snakes take young ground nesting birds, mice, shrews, toads, lizards, snakes and reptile eggs. In one study, they were found to be a major predator on Pacific pond turtle nests. Those I’ve kept have done very well on small mice and quail eggs. Other Interesting Facts This snake’s […]
[…]A Rusty Wandering Spider (Cupiennius getazi) was photographed while consuming Red-Eyed Treefrog eggs, which had been deposited on a leaf overhanging a small pond. Interestingly, the spider appeared to defend its food source. The eggs did not spontaneously hatch when disturbed by the spider, as they do when attacked by […]
