"Hi, my name is Tim Cole and I am with the Austin Reptile Service and I've been keeping reptiles and amphibians for over forty years. We're here to talk about breeding frogs. Breeding frogs can be rather difficult depending on the species. A lot of people put in back yard ponds and let the native frogs just naturally become attracted to it and in time most of them will just give in to the ponds and they'll do their breeding and they'll lay eggs. Eggs will hatch into tadpoles and then they'll metamorphosis into little frogs. That's probably the easiest way to do it. Some people do breed frogs in captivity for pets. Some of the horned frogs, the African pixie frogs, fire belly toads, and a lot of these are bred in captivity. Some of them are artificially inseminated. Some of them are induced into breeding on their own with let's say sound tracks to a thunderstorm. A lot of times that will encourage them to breed or their put together for breeding on a night we've got a natural thunderstorm. A low pressure system seems to be a good night for breeding them. So there's several different ways you can breed frogs."
