2 questions about Plethodon cinereus:
I need more information on the "lead Phase". When does that stage occur in development..after the red backed stage?
I searched here and found one picture of the eggs. I'm assuming, according to the picture, water was added for moisture. In a normal wild setting, are the eggs rather dry in appearance and in small piles? Are they solid colored as opposed to clear sacs?
I was out on family wooded property and found pile after pile of these little white-ish eggs under logs, leaves, etc. Didn't want to take any if they turned out to be insect eggs but they weren't sticky or in any kind of sticky muck.
Make it three questions, what's the rule on sexing these particular salamanders?
