Yesterday I found a small dime sized clear, mucoid, jellylike material in my Tiger Salamander's (I have 2) water dish. Anybody know what it might be?
 
My first guess is that it's mold forming around a turd or some other manner of organic debris.
 
Hmmmmm I just cleaned their tank yesterday morning
 
It could be a spermatophore. They look like jelly like cones. I am unsure if Tigers would deposit these in captivity. Just a thought. A picture might be helpful also.
 
If I find another one I will try to get a picture.
 
shed skin?
 
Could be shed skin, would this turn to a clear jellylike substance if left in the water? I havent found anymore.

    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?
