Strange white sac from Spotted Salamander

Hi, I'm a new owner of a pair of Spotted Salamanders, and I noticed that one was in the water all day, and when I checked up on it, I saw this weird mucus-like white sac that was loosely coming from its cloaca. Is this something to be concerned about or is it maybe a spermataphore/egg sac?

Thank you!

    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?
