Does any one know a good spot online to buy tadpoles? Im not looking for like bull frog tadpoles. Im interested in finding some other types of tad poles. Exotic type frogs or salamanders would be cool. But just other frog species besides bull frogs.

I've seen them at my local pond supply store. Might try a place that advertises Koi.

Hi,
Arn't there any nearby ponds or city lakes that you can
go and just catch them yourself? As a kid, we used to
get eggs and grow them into frogs. Like mossies, when
frogs are in the mood nearly any body of water will
work from a kids wading pond, to a shallow pan of water.

I actually did end up finding a pond I could get some out of. I took one batch of eggs and there is like 50 of the buggers. Im hoping there not bull frog tad poles. Pretty sure there tree frogs though.

Try the big mud puddle in your back yard in a few more weeks.
