In the old coal shoot at my house it catches alot water and this past week alot, alot of frog spawn have turned up, so my dad said why dont you grow them to feed to the snakes,

Well i told him to shut up but he seems adament you can feed frogs to corns....

not sure about frogs, but since they are wild, you dont know if they have any disease

I don't know if snakes can eat frogs but I know you should never ever feed your snake something wild because it may have a disease.

I am pretty sure they eat frogs yes in the wild, I am not sure on the legal status on native frogs but please, leave them be. I am sure they are in decline, and it doesn't seem fair when there are hundreds of frozen mice.

I'm sure there's a law that frogspawn isn't allowed to be moved or collected from where its been layed, stick with mice - where would you keep the frogs until needed, feeding them and then killing them humanely
