Only a few amphibians have been bred in captivity. The lifestyle and breeding of the amphibians are done by the climate control and change in atmosphere.
Some amphibians produce live young, although most amphibians lay eggs.
Most of the amphibians lay their eggs in standing water, while others lay in swamplands. The eggs are similar to gelatin and dehydrate if there is not enough moisture. They lay anywhere from a few eggs to thousands of eggs.
There are stages the amphibians go through for their breeding stages. Winter breeders breed in ponds by the rains in the water and during the shortest days of the year. Many other amphibians are living and breeding in the ponds during the longest and hottest days of the year.
The tropical amphibians breed more during the rainy season, and require a rainy season while captive to stimulate breeding. This is the same with the aquatic amphibian so the rain cools the waters to allow stimulation for breeding.
While breeding your amphibians you should make a hydration chamber. These can be made by mesh wire on a wood frame. Fresh water needs to be running through to help with temperature. The water needs to run through the hydration chamber for a little more than an hour each night. Some breeds you need to make sure the amphibians have a certain amount of day and night. When breeding your amphibian, there must not be any chlorine.
When places the amphibians together to breed, make sure you have both sexes.
There are over 200 different types of frogs, toads, salamanders, tree frogs, and caecilians in today’s pet world. Little is known on the breeding of the amphibians because on a few dozens have been successful. Most of these breedings were not planned breedings. All that is known is the cycle breeding for the amphibians rely on day light and nightfall, humidity, temperature, barometric pressure, and the amount of rainfall.
When the amphibians lay their eggs they then reach tadpole stage. When other species lay eggs on land and the development is quicker.
Breeding your amphibian is a difficult process and during this process you need to be careful. If your amphibian is showing stress or acting out of character take them to the vet as soon as possible.
As you breed, make sure to remember these pets are sensitive to their surrounding during the breeding process. It may take a few times of breeding before it is successful.
