Are these salamander eggs?

I found them under a wet log and there were smaller eggs (slugs or sails?) under there also.
Are these eastern salamanders and if they are how do I care for them? I kind of saved them from ants and isopods.

They are very clear eggs once I put them in water.

They’re marbled salamander eggs I believe, depending on the area. The mothers lay them in land and then when the pool fills with water they should hatch

I would suggest not submerging them. If they are eggs of a Easter red back as you suggested you don’t want to submerge them as these salamanders do not have a larval stage and are purely terrestrial

    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?
