I found them under a wet log and there were smaller eggs (slugs or sails?) under there also.
Are these eastern salamanders and if they are how do I care for them? I kind of saved them from ants and isopods.

They are very clear eggs once I put them in water.

They’re marbled salamander eggs I believe, depending on the area. The mothers lay them in land and then when the pool fills with water they should hatch
 
I would suggest not submerging them. If they are eggs of a Easter red back as you suggested you don’t want to submerge them as these salamanders do not have a larval stage and are purely terrestrial

I put them in a container with damp coco fiber and rotting wood.
 
I'm sure they are salamander eggs. you should endeavor to hatch them in the same type of environment you found them in.

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
