Not only did the T.grans arrive today, I think my Notophthalmus viridescens laid eggs! There are only two, and weren't on a plant, in their dish that they track substrate into. Here are the pictures, and the possible eggs are in the bottom right:

Are these eggs?

Yes, they appear to be eggs :happy:

How are you keeping your Notos, I thought they were mostly aquatic as adults and were best kept in a mostly aquatic enclosure?

Kind of the over-worry parent, I heard that females die off in water a lot, so I'm keeping them semi-aquatic, made an island and filled water around it. Going to keep them fully aquatic eventually

Okay, so even though they look the same still, I think they are in-fertile. No development for 5-6 days

OK but don't necessarily give up on them yet.

I won't until they mold :happy:

I had a whole batch of Itallian alpine newt eggs go mouldy and gave up on them, yet when I emptied the tank a few months later there were two little alpine morphs looking up at me. I'm certain all the eggs were covered in fungus, but its obviously possible for the embryos to survive in some cases.
