I saw two in the edge of the reservoir I was fishing on the other day. And a long string of eggs as well. I went and packed my tackle away by the time I went back they had disappeared. I'll go this week after work and search the area 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Considering this is the Second season I've Really pushed the issue like a doorstep insurance man ..... and no fukking closer! Than finding a leopard ) Spawn may well actually be the thing we've all been ~ figuratively ~ looking for! I'll, presently, be racking my brains for a reason why it can't be done. It'll fail. But, I'm fukking sure, actually; Back in the day? This was THE way we did it! I'm talking about when ye'd write a letter to someone. Stick it in the post box, to their address. Ask if they had what ever. Wait for a letter back, confirming ..... Fukk me; Fukking shit could have hatched by then! But, yeah. I'm Pretty damn certain kunts were selling rare newts eggs and such. Counted out by the number. Sent through the post and paid for with a Postal Order! Can you imagine?! Know what? I reckon ye've only f***ing cracked it!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Genuine question...do environmental conditions determine the sex the spawn will be? , I seem to have something in the back of my head saying it does but maybe it's just crossed wires? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ye've got me going now, mate! Simple, and honest, answer is that I don't fukking know! There is a rule out there, isn't there. Some environmental factor has a bearing on the embryonic gender balance of Some fukking thing or other. Not African Bullfrogs, is it? Don't remember ever hearing it applied to Bufo though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Higher incubation temps will give you more males than females in most amphibians I'd assume it's the same for Bufo bufo 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
