Hi, before I start i wanted to explain that i brought in bullfrog tadpoles for my pond back when I planned on having a natural eco-friendly pond. But this year I decided to clear out my pond and begin breeding some fancy goldfish which I'm buying as smaller 1 inch fish. My dilemma is that although all my bullfrogs have since dispersed I only one remains )probably a territorial thing since my pond is only 12' by 8' by 2.5' ft He/ she is over half grown(1yr old) and now eating my young newly purchased fish. (i witnessed this myself). I thought maybe he also had left since i had not seen or heard him jump into the pond in over two months. But yet i was still having my juvenile fish disappearing, so I put a net across the whole pond to prevent any early morning wading birds and rule them out as the culprit as I also had a very large fancy goldfish disappear suddenly also . Last night i finally saw the bullfrog just floating on the surface of the pond and went to try and net him, but I've been working on this for over 6 months and Im sure he/she is on to me at this point (no one said their stupid)! I had it blinded with a large flashlight as this is how we used to catch them as kids and simply sneak up and grab them by hand. Today, I have removed all possible hiding spots within the pond and covered up every possible crevice it may be diving straight into when it knows I'm nearby as to keep it from evading me tonight hopefully! I used to feed them live crickets which they would happily jump up and feed on, but and even that will not bring it back to the surface to feed.. He must of jumped directly under one of these hiding spots and not even knew there were crickets in there as it probably couldn't see them from his/her hiding spot. My dilemma is. what is the best method for doing a catch and release on him/her if its already trying to evade me so well at that I have a net, and will go into the pond as he should be easy to spot between my flashlight and interior underwater lights I'm sure that during the day it must be staying under a large boulder along the pond somewhere because I've done a complete sweep of the pond for as long as I could prior to the water turning too murky from all my searching and moving of potted plants and such. I'm sure its going to show itself eventually again. Hopefully tonight as I plan on leaving the net off until I'm done catching him during the evenings And I need to catch it, as its getting very costly to keep buying these breeding young fish over and over again.. Any ideas for this smart bullfrog? I obviously dont want to hurt him, although a nice foreleg dinner would suite mefine, if I thought it were big enough and worth prepping it for dinner lol Thanks mitzi

Never seen one of those. Neato!

Sounds like your pond should do just fine with the Bullfrogs there. Just monitor thier populations and if you see an influx of large adults, simply catch them at night by spotlight (they get blinded like deer and freeeze still) and relaese them in a larger waterway. The snakes you were finding are probably Brown Snakes (Storeria Dekayi). Expect that eventually you'll be seeing some Garter and Water Snakes showing up around the pond. Both are harmless. Water Snakes can be fairly large and are banded with brown and tan, garter snakes are striped. The only venomous snake in Maine is the Timber Rattler, and you probably don't ahve to worry about them where you live. The only snakes you have up there are the Eastern Racer (large smooth greyish or bluish above, white or yellow below), Ringneck Snake (small gray snake with bright orange belly and ring around neck), Brown Snake (brown, pink or white belly), Common Garter Snake (striped black snake), Smooth Green Snake (green), Timber Rattlesnake (yes it is venemous, but has a rattle on its tail and is very secretive and rare in human inhabited areas), Northern Water Snake (banded brown snake), Milk Snake (smooth grayish sanke with reddish brown to chocolate blotches down the back and sides, white belly with black markings), Redbelly Snake (small gray or brown with bright red belly), and Eastern Ribbon Snake (like a garter snake, black with yellow stripes but very skinny in appearance).
