They will not raise their own young via egg feeding. They will transport tads themselves to bodies of water (I allow them to transport to a small dish in the vivarium) but will not do anything to raise them. Mine basically only lay in canisters (their favorite is this one canister 6" off of the ground), but they are willing to lay in other places, such as large leafed plants or in the leaf littler.

hmm okay so pulling is def required which is fine im just trying to get a idea.

Not exactly. If you have enough ponds (or a big enough one) and not that many tads, they will be able to live off of the fruit flies that get in the water and the algae/detritus that will build up in the pond.
