I'm willing to bet that these are probably the common leopard frog as
they sell those for dissection:

Here are just the eggs by themselves and the price looks reasonable:

Hope this helps? :-)

Wierd. Tiny URL's website must be down.
I tested them prior to posting. :-(

Go ahead and go directly to the Carolina Biological Supply website and
do a search for frogs there. The had 150 eggs for under $25.00 and a
frog grow kit for kids:

Hope that helps this time? lol

Went out to Native Waterscapes off of Hwy 71 past Oak Hill, purchased 4
tadpoles at 50 cent each, ($2.49 everywhere else), while there, found a
bunch of eggs in one of their pond, which they let me have, so I'm covered,
thanks all.

Neat. :-)
What kind of tad's did you get? Bullfrog?

Any idea what the eggs might be?

There are some large tad's in the pond at work that I saw last week,
they were developing hind legs. Wish I had a pond built, (it's in the
plans!!!), I'd have snagged them.

Childhood thing. G Catching pollywogs is fun!

I have no less than a hundred toads this year. They are all rather large (bigger
than a half dollar coin) in size, so a lot of the babies survived. I suspect
we'll have a lot of toads next spring.

Sounds neat!
We have a few, I imagine that if I did build a pond, they would probably
use it to lay eggs.

I do seem to have a breeding population of 3 different types of lizards,
as I see lots of babies this year.

SInce you've found what you're looking for, I suppose this is moot, but its
too late in the year to find eggs and tadpoles in natural waterways. We've
collected many tadpoles from Sandy Creek, about 60 miles west of Austin on
hwy 71. The tadpoles were there in backwater pools somewhere between Apr 15
and May 15, so I assume the eggs could be found there prior to that.

Oh, lizards are so plentiful here I can hardly take a step without seeing a
bunch scattering around. We have skinks, anoles, fence lizards, and I have seen
a horny toad, which brought tears to my eyes! Also, we have the Mediterranean
gecko all over the limestone which covers our home. I suspect they live in the
attic, which is find, as long as they don't get hurt by anything up there. I do
have cellulose insulation, not fiberglass, so they should be okay.

Now _that_ is cool! Horned lizards are an endangered species in Texas
thanks to fire ants!

I also have lots of anoles, western fence lizards and of course geckos
by the dozens! Those breed in my attic. We find eggs around the edges up
there. They are most welcome!

I saw my first skink last year and hope to see more.

Right now we have toads and tadpoles, I have no idea how many tadpoles of
those we have. The water looks like it's moving by itsel, there are so many
in there. But i wanted some frogs too. No idea what type of eggs I found,
the ones I purchased were "tiger frogs" he said, but these tadpoles were
bigger the the toads ever get to in size as tadpoles.

lol That's funny.... The water moving by itself!
That presents a picture.

Suggestion tho', due to food competition, if you really want the frogs
you bought to succeed, you might want to seriously consider removing a
bunch of the toad tadpoles from your pond and relocating them elsewhere.
The shop where you bought your tadpoles might want them for resale also.

If you can find a pond store that will buy toad tads, I could probably
retire, no matter what they paid. They're more common than trolls on
austin.general. Build it (a pond) and they will come. I dropped a half
watermelon that was past its prime in the pond and the tads ate it down to a
paper thin shell.
