I know some people that work with Mudpuppies that have never seen them this small. These 2 are less than 1.5 inches. Strong running stripes and bright peach colors, these 2 seem to be very new to the world. Seems like their hatching wasn't long ago. I'm sure that these 2 salamanders are spawn from this year. There is still a strong debate on exactly when N. maculosus lay eggs. Some people think they are laying right now in late fall early winter, others believe they lay in the spring. I've never heard an accurate answer.
