My best friend and fellow forum member fraustdemon and I did a mini-field herp excursion in search of a floating freshwater plant that we could culture for our axolotl tanks. As we were taking a few samples out to test, he noticed that a few of them had these small egg masses on them. Anyone have any idea what they could be? We are in the middle Georgia area <SOUTHEASTERN US>, the egg mass is about 3/8". At least...we think that it is an egg mass. Anyone have any ideas?

It´s a snail egg mass. Possibly of some species in the Physa/Physella group (or relatives) but that´s a long shot.

    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?
