I found them under a wet log and there were smaller eggs (slugs or sails?) under there also.
Are these eastern salamanders and if they are how do I care for them? I kind of saved them from ants and isopods.

They are very clear eggs once I put them in water.

They’re marbled salamander eggs I believe, depending on the area. The mothers lay them in land and then when the pool fills with water they should hatch
 
I would suggest not submerging them. If they are eggs of a Easter red back as you suggested you don’t want to submerge them as these salamanders do not have a larval stage and are purely terrestrial

I put them in a container with damp coco fiber and rotting wood.
 
I'm sure they are salamander eggs. you should endeavor to hatch them in the same type of environment you found them in.

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
