In January of this year we had some very warm weather and I managed to come across a spotted salamander congress (like a murder of crows) and then they laid eggs for a few weeks and are now happy little axolotl looking things!
The pond is just about a year old and is about 8x8 feet and ~3.5 ft deep at the deepest.
great photos! I would love to have a little ecosystem like this near me.
Wow this is great, very cool to be able to watch this grow over time! thanks for sharing
Oh wow this is so cool! Thank you for sharing!
Super awesome! Many salamanders return to the same pools to breed year after year, so you’ll get to see some of these young ones coming back again and again
Amazing! Your pond must be very healthy
Ooo, tad dry! We had the same thing, we’ve got a tiny little sink ‘pond’ and it dried out after a couple of days. Impressive that you got the life to return to quickly!
