Hi,
I'm new to this site, so I'm not sure if this will work right or not, I am trying to see if any one might know what kind of salamander this is. It is only about six days old. I found a bunch of eggs in a cluster in a pond. I live in Washington way up in the mountains near the Canadian border if that helps. I have looked online, but I see a lot I rink it could be.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm thinking Tarichia granulosa, but hopefully sde or neotenic james can respond, because I don't have any experience with these guys yet
 
I concur. A.gracile is the only one likely to both be present, and lay large clumps of eggs. The A.macrodactylum complex only lays small clumps or individual eggs; A.mavortium should be absent; Dicamptodon tenebrosus guards it's eggs in streams; Taricha lay small clumps [possible as well]; the western plethodontids, what few are in that area, are terrestrial breeders.

    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?
