Bullfrogs and snails

[woodjin]

When I was growning up in Monmouth county I lived in a farming district. I used to catch HUGE bullfrogs all the time. And snails were all over. It occured to me that I rarely see snails and large bullfrogs here in the pines. Has anyone else noticed that?

We use to have large bull frogs around our lake when I was young, but no more...

Jeff, Bullfrogs are only found in disturbed areas like the farmland in Monmouth where you grew up. My dad has a bunch of 'em in his pond which was dug out for a blueberry operation years back. However, there are none to be found in a nearby spung which supports a pinelands ecosystem.

Our lake was an old blueberry operation, you can see this in the aerials from the soils conservation district photos in the old books.
