Most NCA amphibians lay their eggs in ephemeral wetlands, that dry up in late summer or early fall. But marbled salamanders lay their eggs during fall in the dry wetland beds, often on the underside of leaves or other debris.

What time of year do frogs lay their eggs?

Green frogs, a common frog in our region, will start breeding and laying eggs in April and continue into the end of summer. Their eggs will hatch after just a few days, the tiny new tadpoles wriggling out of the egg jelly to spend the summer eating detritus at the bottom of the pond.

What season do most amphibians reproduce?

Spring is the perfect time of year to start spotting some of our native amphibians. Breeding season is upon them, and they're clustering around ponds in hope of finding a mate. In the winter months, our frogs, toads and newts were hibernating in compost heaps, piles of dead wood or at the bottom of ponds.
