Today I witnessed tail fanning and body fanning. I just thought it was aggression or territorial statements. I came back an hour later and there it was! A big 1 inch high spermatophore from base to tip. I did notice since the temps in my basement has gotten cold that mudpuppy has gotten a swollen cloaca with a slight redness. Its 47 degrees F in my basement right now. The N. maculosus in 1st two pictures is 14 inches with a decent sized head. Thats the biggest spermatophore I've ever seen.
