Headstart Houston Toad Release

At the end of April 2008, the final release of the 2007 Houston Toad head start program was done. 70 adult Houston toads were released at two sites in Bastrop County, Texas. This release coincided with the natural breeding season for Houston toads in the wild. Early results were extremely encouraging with multiple males calling within an hour of their release. Within a few days several females had laid eggs, but unfortunately these eggs failed to develop. Texas Parks and Wildlife film makers were present at the release to document this event and to continue working on a episode of their television show.
