I am putting in at least 2000 gallon pond,as stated before I have a 90 gallon preform. Koi is not fun for me as I know a few people with Koi and the Pain that The go thru. My 90 gallon has a few goldfish, snails and tadpoles now frogs. I would like to get a turtle for the bigger pond and a few other different wildlife. Is there i can find out what type of turtles etc are native to my area. Also I am looking for Green Frogs too because last summer I little itty bitty tadpoles. were can i find them at?

Where do you live? It is best to get native species. I think one of the best pond turtles is the painted turtles. In the Eastern US, the Eastern painted is native; in the middle of the country, it's the Midland painted; and on the West coast, it's the Western painted. You can rarely find a local store that sells the adults. It's illegal to buy/sell turtles under 4" but many people do anyway. Turtles are less likely to wander if they are smaller. You will need to fence in the pond area to ensure the turtle(s) doesn't leave. Try contacting your local turtle or reptile club to see if they have suggestions for breeders or turtles for sale or up for adoption. There are tons of red-eared sliders that were cast off by previous owners who need ponds to live in.

There are not many places that sell green frogs but I think Tricker's tadpoles are green frogs.

I've yet to find eggs from my green frogs this year but, when/if I do, I sometimes share them with others in MD.

Robyn, I live in Mercer County in the Great State of New Jersey. The Tadpoles that were in my pond last year were smaller than a sewing needle and there must been about a hundred of them in the pond. When they "turned" they were about the size of a nickel. also Is there any stores that would have wood Frogs?

In most states where they are native, it's illegal to sell/buy wood frogs. They are considered native amphibians. Strangely, green frogs and bullfrogs are considered fish and under a different set of rules regulated by fisheries departments that allows them to be taken (killed or kept as pets). At least, that's how it works here.

The little tiny tadpoles you had may have been tree frogs.

Is there any way to buy tree frogs ?

It's the same with tree frogs as wood frogs. In most states, it's illegal to sell or buy them from the wild. Sometimes you can find captive bred tree frogs. In some states, you can't get species that are native to that state but I don't know if that's the case all over. Aside from individuals here and there selling tree frog tadpoles, I've never seen tree frogs for sale on the internet. You might try one of the herp forums where people buy and sell frogs.
