i just received a batch of newly laid eggs this easter weekend at my friends cottage and was wondering what kind they are. I found them in montreal, Quebec, Canada in the eastern townships and I really hope they are salamander eggs(spotted salys) but cant be sure. any help would be greatly appreciated

I looked into the wood frog possibilities of eggs and theyre describtion matched but suddenly in about a week THEY HAVE HATCHED. At close observation it would seem they have gills like salamander larvae but they are just too tiny to be sure. Im hoping someone might have a picture of newborn wood frog larvae. If not can someone take a guess at whether theyre are salamander or frog.

They are not caudate egg masses....

In some of the anuran species, when the tadpoles hatch they have gills for a couple of days. This is a lot more common when dealing with anuran eggs that have hatched prematurely.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    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?
