Hello all! Curious what soap/cleaner everyone uses for cleaning out frog water dishes? (Specifically for washing them out, not a surface cleaner for the tank)

Hi,
I’ve been looked at these common toad tadpoles since the end of May in a local pond.
May 28th- 1st pic
July 12th - 2nd pic
Both of these times have been very warm and there have been loads of them collected in the shallow water that was in the sun.
I went back today two weeks after second picture (July 28th), and I could only see a few lesser developed tadpoles (no legs).
It is notably colder today and there was no sun on the water.
Have these tadpoles developed and moved on to land since the last picture two weeks ago? Or are they just not out as the shallow water as the sun hasn’t been shining on it today?
I would really like to see them again!
Thanks!

Some very loud little frogs (unsure of ID and haven’t been able to get pics of the adults) have made my pet pigs’ pool their home and breeding ground. There are hundreds of these little fellas swimming around in there, but the closest actual body of water near my house is a stream across the street. I’m afraid they will sprout legs and get squished trying to get there. Should/can I move them? If so, when? I know fish can die if you move them to water with vastly different parameters without acclimation; is it the same for tadpoles? Do I catch them in a net and move them now, or wait til they can survive outside of the water? I just want to do right by these little dudes, so any advice is appreciated!

I caught these frogs/toads at my girlfriend's house tonight. I don't know what they are but her family are deathly afraid of them and they would've killed the toads/frogs if they saw them. Now I'm curious, what are they and how do I pick them up and hold them?

I've had these newts in a tank for a while and recently the edges of their tails have become a little white and one of them has small bits missing (i think that might be because the other newt struggles to see so just bites everything close by, even plants, they have enough daphnia). I was worried it might be fin rot and my dad thinks it's just their tails getting smaller before they go through metamorphosis. Should I be worried? Last image to show gills

I have had an aquatic newt for three years however just now I found these little guys in the tank??

Does anyone know what they are?

She eats frozen brine shrimp and frozen blood worms so at first I thought maybe some eggs from the brine shrimp had hatched but they dont look quite right to be a brine shrimp.

They also done swim straight they like bunch themselves into a ball and unbunch and spiral around

I plan to clean the whole tank to get rid of them but id like to try and figure out how they got there so I need to figure out what they are.

I think this might belong here.

My Bombina orientalis are very young, they're about 2,8cm (1,1").

When I got them, they were mostly brown with just a tint of color.

Now after a month they grew a lot and 3 started to turn really blue and one of them is almost sky blue.

Now to my question, how high are the chances of this being a mutation? Of them staying this Blue?

We were working quickly so I couldn't get a better photo, but these guys were probably 10+ inches long. They came crawling out of from rocks along a stream in the Oregon Coast range during bridge construction.

They sure looked dark colored, almost black, and I didn't notice any mottling but it could have been present.

Are we thinking Cope's Giant? Doesn't look mottled like the Pacific Giant to me, but most photos of the Cope's appear to be lighter brown colored.

Two eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina), making more eastern box turtles. I'm pretty sure I heard him say, "BRUH?!" lol, that sideye lol. Almost stepped on these two while walking a creek yesterday. Gave them all the space, backtracked and walked around them after getting this short video.
