Frogs are freshwater animals. The saltwater would kill the eggs and, if they survived, it would kill the tadpoles, dehydrating them.

Also, not all species of frogs lay their eggs in water, e.g. the Corroboree frog does not.

Also, frogs of the genus Pristimantis lay their eggs on land, where they do not undergo a tadpole stage, hatching as fully metamorphosed baby frogs. Some species of frogs even give birth to live young, such as members of the African genus Nectophrynoides and other species found in the Andes and Central America.

Frogs typically lay their eggs in water during the rainy season. This is because their eggs need to be submerged in water to develop and hatch successfully. Frogs usually choose still or slow-moving bodies of water, such as ponds, lakes, or marshes, to lay their eggs. The presence of water helps to protect the eggs from predators and provides the necessary environment for the tadpoles to survive and grow.
