:Our female Tiger Salamander just laid eggs in her water pool. She is kept in with 2 males. She had been refusing food for a while now and was pretty chubby looking but I didn't think anything of it until today. Is there any chance the eggs are fertile? I've read that tiger Salamanders are rarely ever bred successfully in captivity. How should I care for the eggs, just in case they are fertile?


That's fantastic! How long have you had them? Can you post any pictures? (This is such a momumental happening, that you REALLY need to take pictures!!!! Borrow a digital camera if you don't have one.)

If the eggs are fertile, they should start to develop in a few days. The inner part of the egg will change in shape. If they get fuzzy or milky, they are probably infertile. Here are articles for help on feeding and raising them:
