She's not pregnant. The vast majority of frogs do not fertilize their eggs until they are laid. That includes Pacific chorus frogs. If the eggs are still in the body, they're basically just stored nutrients and won't be laid or develop into anything without a male to court and fertilize as they're laid.

Chorus frogs in Vegas will be Baja California chorus frogs, Pseudacris hypochondriaca.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
