Finding tadpoles in the toilet was a first for me.

Wow. Frogs in the toilet. Wow. I think it would freak me out. Not because there is a frog in the toilet, but the, "how did it get there?" issue. I don't have a septic system and I would be panicking if one of mine was out (been there, done that. RETFs don't do so well outside of their humid tank). Cool stories.

I am going through my first experience with frog breeding myself. It has been a wild ride. Lots of warm fuzzes (can you say that with frogs?) and lots of heartbreak. Like the other morning when I was switching the lights around and put a light on the tank I had taken off a couple days before. Should not have been a problem- same light as before, right? Well, evidently, 10 of the froglets didn't think so and desiccated. I still don't understand that one. Out of 76 tadpoles that hatched, I think I am going to end up with maybe 30 froglets. But, I have learned a lot and will do it all over again if I get the chance!

UPDATE:

The final froglet from this clutch just morphed this week!
The eggs were laid on 8.7.11.
Hatched into tads on 8.16.11.
The first tadpole to morph into a froglet was on 11.3.11.
And the last was on 4.22.12!
If my math is correct that is a 5 1/2 month difference from the first morph to the last and over 8 months total for the longest tad!
I'm tripping out on how long it took.
Has anyone else experienced this!?
