I was herping with my friend today and in a little depression from tire tracks in the woods (it's pretty big and deep) I saw a red tail flicking around swimming. I thought to myself "I HAVE to catch that! It's too big to be a bloodworm" not worrying about how gross it may be... I grabbed in where it swam under and in a huge clump of dead leaves and gross slime I found a red eft. This little weirdo goes to the water purposely. He's been hangin out in the water in the temporary tank for the past 5 hours, he's alive too. I'm paranoid and keep checking XD I took him as I thought an eft that likes water may be good for future captive breeding. Is this a common occurrence? Also, do male Ambystoma Maculatum deposit spermatophore before females arrive? In the same depression the eft was in, I found big spermatophores. No salamanders were in there though. Just some more specifics, I'm in Southern New Hampshire.
