My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Why so few frogs?

19 years ago

Hi,

I started out with about 3-4 frogs this year, and now I hardly see or hear any. I have a water snake or 2 spending all its time in and around my little ponds. Are they the reason I'm not hearing the frogs now? Do frogs move away when they know there's a snake?

Last year, I had the snake, and would see frogs at the same time, so I'm not sure what's going on this year. But I sure miss hearing them sing. Although the tree frogs are still around. I hope the snakes don't get them when they come to the pond to lay their eggs.
