You undoubtedly got your information from the following website: www.californiaherps.com This is an excellent resource, and I know some of the people who have put that whole thing together. You obviously didn't look at the species list closely enough, as you will see that the southern leopard frog (Rana utricularia) is an INTRODUCED species - that means it is not native and doesn't belong there! While northern leopard frogs once had a few spots in northerneastern California where they were present, it is likely that they are EXTIRPATED (that means they are gone) from the state now, as it also says on that site and if you actually took the time to read scientific journals (as I do) you'll see that repeated efforts to find relict populations have failed. Also, you'll notice that northern leopard frogs never ranged into Central california, where you say you live...so again, that goes back to my saying you shouldn't be bringing in nonnative or nonlocal species. Obviously you didn't read my original post - do you really think that a northern leopard frog (or leopard toad, as you put it, haha) with its origins in North Carolina would survive in your region? I doubt it...not to mention the fact that it is ILLEGAL. You tried using the word "indigenous" as well - you have to use that word with some measure of scale - there are lots of anurans indigenous to California - but how about YOUR LOCAL area? I guess by your rules, you could take a Couch's spadefoot toad from extreme southeastern CA and put it in your pond...because its indigenous to California, right? Or maybe a Green Treefrog (Hyla cinerea), because they are indigenous to the United State, and they sure are pretty! Again, do your research, and if you're too lazy to go find some construction sites or golf courses nearby you, then tough luck. Don't get pissy at me for advising and educating you about the problems that could be caused by your actions. ~Mike An old post but worth repeating!...See MoreProtecting tadpoles/frogs from snakes
Comments (4)Thanks Don, I only have 1 green frog and 3 snakes......one of which is about 3' long. So I'm kind of heavy on the snakes this year. I don't know if they're the reason I don't have the usual number of frogs this year, or if its just an off year for frogs. But I do miss those frogs. Luckily, I have a bunch of tree frogs, who can get away from the snakes better. What a racket they make at night...but I love it!...See MoreTadpoles to Frogs

Comments (9)Since frogs are disappearing everywhere, maybe there are not many to go out and find? It would be great if you could get some that are native to your area. Maybe email or call the local Herpetological society? Or if you canÂt find one, call your local Extension and see  Mine was very helpful in passing along our info to a local Herp guy when I had questions about what was in our yard  I didnÂt want the bullfrogs that were killing all the frogs. He called me and luckily, they were local Spadefoot Toads :) Oh, also, sometimes they have "rescues" they might be willing to part with! HereÂs a link to your ExtensionÂs "Master Gardener" page - http://mastergardener.umd.edu/ HereÂs their Home & Garden link - http://www.hgic.umd.edu/ Both have phone numbers where you can ask questions. Someone there should know about a local Herpetological society :) Good luck! -A....See Morefrogman_2007
