Please help
Okey dokey.. so I’m scared. I have several salamanders and eggs suddenly appeared. I have two “western tiger salamanders” with some pieces of wood near by their shallow water pool, and today I woke up to what looks like hydrated chia seeds all over the wood. Even crazier-I also have an aquatic tank with what I believe to be a paedomorphic tiger salamander because it looks very much like an axolotl and has gills. Well surprise surprise, same thing. I woke up this morning and there are eggs suspended in the aquatic plants growing in its water. If they’re laying eggs does that mean they’re fertilized? Or did they just do it because it happens sometimes? What am I gonna do if they’re viable and I’m suddenly overrun with babies? Where can I take them? I’m kind of panicking and could really use some help. Thank you so much.
Ps please let me know if I need to immediately do something with the eggs (ie move them into or out of the water, move them to their own incubation enclosure, keep them moist, submerge them, etc.)
I love salamanders so much and want to do whatever is best for them. Thanks again
