It is getting close to the time of year the Ambystoma macrodactylum (long-toed salamanders) will lay eggs in the small pond I installed in my yard over 25 years ago. I had the pond tested a couple of years ago. My pond was free of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (chytrid). The amphibians A. macrodactylum and Pseudacris regilla (Pacific tree frogs) breed in there every year. The frogs showed up maybe five years ago and the A. macrodactylum came back every year after I introduced them as larvae. I was rearing the Ambystoma macrodactylum from eggs about 20 years ago before I put them in the pond.
