My concern with the winter thing later in the year would be me accidentally freezing her to death. I would like to try to breed her. I wouldn't think temperatures would have to get that low all the time. Would they? I mean, with eastern newts, they just need to go through a coolig period. The water they are in never completely freezes like during the winter. Just because it hasnt been done before gives me that much more reason to want to try to do it. I'm really at a loss here on wether I should try breeding, or release her. If I release her, something could eat her, she might get hit by a car, or I just might not see her again in my entire life. If I keep her though, I may be unsuccessful breeding and take a beautiful frog out of the breedin population.
