    Is that not unique in the entire world of amphibians? I was under the impression all amphibians laid eggs.

      It’s a form of ovovivipary so it’s not that crazy, they basically just keep the eggs inside of them instead of laying them.

      Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog

      “Being oviparous anamniotes, frogs typically spawn their eggs in bodies of water. The eggs then hatch into fully aquatic larvae called tadpoles, which have tails and internal gills. A few species lay eggs on land or bypass the tadpole stage altogether.”

        I am no frogologist

        I believe the term is herpetologist. :)

      There are also fish that give live birth, so I wouldn’t be that surprised if some amphibians do so as well
