::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?

Hi, That is great news, I am attempting to breed mine and it would be great if you could provide some detail as to how you kept them. If you can please answer the following questions:
1. What kind of tiger salamanders do you have?
2. How long have you had them?
3. Did you get them as adults? if not, how long have they been transformed?
4. What kind and size enclosure do you have them in?
5. What kind of water do you use for them and how do you keep it clean?
6. what state are you in?
7. Did you do any kind of preparation for breeding? i.e. hybernation, misting or use of a rain chamber?
8. what temperature do you keep them at?

I know it seem like a lot but it would be very helpful. Maintain your eggs in aged water with a PH above 7.0. Avoid raising the temperature above 70 and they should hatch in 3-4 weeks.
