I have two fishless ponds just for amphibians near my house. Lots of American toads breed there. This year I noticed these white egg strands. I thought they were probably just infertile, but when I came back in several days I noticed they were still white, but developing. I took some of them in to watch them develop, along with some normally colored eggs. The second photo is the tadpoles two days after hatching. Now after a couple of weeks they all look normally colored- third photo. Anybody got any thoughts? Mikeygraz?
