help with egg id

[debbnjess]

I live in Barstow, California and we have a pond with western toads and 1 male bullfrog. the second picture is the western toad eggs in a strand. I know this because I have raised several hundreds of toads from these eggs. this morning I found the eggs in the first picture, they are in a big gelatinous sheet, not strands. Is it possible that these are western toad eggs too, or can the bullfrog breed the toads, but it would still be the female toad, or is there some other type of frog in my pond that I have never seen? I scooped some out and put them into another container so that I can watch them and see what they turn into, but was just wondeing if anyone else had seen eggs like this. Thank you

The bullfrog can't breed with the toads.

Has your male bullfrog been calling? He may have enticed a lady bullfrog to visit your pond for a little late night action, so it's not necessary for their to be a resident female.

Bullfrogs can lay thousands of eggs at a time and their appearance is consistent with the eggs you have. This isn't to say they couldn't be another type of frog. You could look into the other inhabitants in your area and investigate their egg-laying habits to find other candidates.

My bullfrog calls all the time! but I live in the middle of the desert, it is highly unlikely that he could call a female, I don't know where she would come from.
are bullfrog eggs bigger than toad eggs? because these are about the same size, they are just not in a strand.
