Hi all, I finally have something to contribute to this little used, remote corner of the forums...I arrived home tonight to find my Eurycea m. griseogaster have laid 22 eggs. The eggs are huge compared to their body size, it's really amazing. I had been watching them in courtship since early May, and had sort of given up on anything coming of it. Sure wish I had a camera to post pics.
These are really attractive little salamanders, and probably one of the most enjoyable species I've ever kept. This particular population is a dark coppery color, with yellow bellies. The males are distinguished by a large gland at the dorsal base of the tail and a broader, triangular head due to enlarged jaw muscles. They're so small, I can keep 4 in a 2.5g tank. The multiplicata/tynerensis species complex is currently being revised, so I'm not sure what species these will turn out to be.
