Are these Northern Red-back salamander eggs? I found them with a female (I think it was a female) nearby. They didn't really fit the discription that I read about. I was hoping to keep the female but I didn't because I was afraid I was going to mess something up.

<font color="0000ff">Those are definitely slug eggs. I've found them before and thought the same, that perhaps they were redback eggs. I brought them home and hatched them out came baby slugs. Another thing to note is that female redbacks will guard there eggs aggressively, and are often found curled around them.</font> http://www.wingwatchers.com/images2/jodsally1.jpg

They are definately slug eggs. My slug eggs just hatched. I'm feeding them to my Southern Redbacks.

I'm glad you all posted this! Because I found those eggs near where my redbacks lived and I thought they were redback eggs as well. Now I know!

Maybe I find the redbacks hanging out in that area because they like to eat them!
