What are these EGGS from in my CHID?

You've got one little lazy birdy who found an already-made nest. That is so curious and hysterical!

First a thread on frogs invading central Florida and now, this!!!

Frogs don't lay eggs, do they?

Frogs do lay eggs. They are small, clear, and encased in a thick, slimy gel. Think tapioca pudding, except clear.

I am not clear about the complete frog cycle of life and never really thought about it till now. But I do remember (back in the day) many a tadpoles appearing during our rainy season, along with the walking catfish.

So the frogs' eggs turn to tadpoles when it rains? (I only know the life cycle from tadpole on)

While Im pretty sure these are lizard eggs, we do have tree frog eggs here in Hawaii that look white like lizard eggs. Instead of tadpoles, these little frogs (called greenhouse frogs, theyre tiny!) hatch out as little mini frogs. Its pretty wierd because growing up in Canada I always saw the 'tapioca pudding' eggs, like Dave B said.
