So up here in RI i was checkin out some vernal pools and there are wood frog eggs everywhere in the water, so many, and I also found some marbled salamander eggs, and I caught two paris of wood frogs in amplexus. I couldn't walk throught the pool without 5 wood frogs shooting out every step. I'm gonna try and raise some eggs as practice for my redeye breeding atempt this summer. I'm going back this afternoon to get some eggs/ If anyone would be interested in the outcomes of this I would give them away, if not I'm gonna let them go. Let me know what you think.

I'm not sure that sal eggs would be good practice for raising tree frog eggs. Sal larvae need tiny LIVE food (see http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/microfoods.shtml). While I see nothing wrong with raising a *few* of the sal eggs at home, please do not return them to the wild later. This is one way that diseases (from pets) can spread to wild populations.

Marble Salamanders breed in the Fall and not in the Spring.
