Amphibians reproduce sexually. Some amphibians lay their eggs and let them develop by themselves. Others, lay eggs and guard them. The mother is usually the one who guards the eggs. A salamander will guard her eggs by wrapping herself around them.
Some anurans carry their eggs imbedded in their backs.
All amphibian eggs are basically the same in that there are layers of semipermeable membranes surrounding the ovum. However, a lot of differences exist in individual eggs, such as size. Eggs laid in water form into large clumps, or they are scattered and deposited at different sites. Normally, the clumps are attached to sticks or vegetation in the water. This serves to maintain the position of the clutch.
