On or about June 15 - it was raining that night.. and the backyard was "ALIVE"!!! I have a 'jungle' of Rose-of-Sharon growing.. [ for the redfoot tortoises ] that are literally 8' tall and cover the 18' x 24' area -- planted 4' apart means there are several.. and tree frogs are abundant when it rains.
In the process of setting up another stock tank.. it was basically empty with only about a foot of water in it. When I went out and found these -
The short of the long is they laid several masses of eggs... in the tank and in a kiddy pool used to hold sand for "nest-boxes" for the Terrapins. [ sand was used and pool was just sitting there at edge of 'jungle'. ]
It was amazing how small the eggs were.. and in 3 days the tiny dot of "yolk" already 'split' and became elongated as they grew. A couple days later these tiny little tadpoles appeared everywhere. I intended to get ongoing 'growth' pics but got involved in completing the stock tank for the Terrapins!
I may have some earlier pics... have to see if I can find them.
Will get "progress" pics for you wells ( is it Barb? .. not sure - LMK please ).. promise!!!
