I may be stating the obvious but frogs are amphibians - I don't about
the frogs in your area, but in Britain the common frogs spend a large
part of their life cycle on land spending their days in cooler dark damp
places and eating creepy crawlies at night. The only time they need
pools of water are to breed and in their juvenile form (ie tadpoles),
your frogs may well have left of their own accord.

The pond is 3/4 or more drained now... we had counted about 15 or so LARGE
frogs a month ago, but I've seen none at all now. (After seeing the snake
with one in his mouth the other day), but it looks like all our fish are
present and accounted for!

It's getting dark here now, so it's hard to make sure of anything now, but
tomorrow morning, with the sunlight, I'm going to try to hunt the snake down
and remove him.

Only thing I'm concerned about overnight, is now that there is less water to
hide in, that the snakes will get the fish.

I'll report back tomorrow on results...
