I collected a few eggs from my pond in January that I believe to be Ambystoma texanum. The eggs were in small masses(about 50 eggs to a mass). So far I have about 14 little larvae swimming around. Just a few days ago I found what I think are Ambystoma maculatum eggs in the pond with 300 or so eggs in each mass. The larvae have black tails which I know A. maculatum larvae have but I don't think that A. maculatum would breed so early in the year while many of the ponds were still iced over. So I think that these are A. texanum but I'm not entirely sure. Can anyone help me out?
