Hi,yes I kept it and already submitted a possession permit to the NYSDEC under their new SC law. I want to get blood to Cornell to confirm that it is A. maculatum, and Kelly Zemudo there works on genetics with them. And I'd also like to see if I can get it to pick up a spermataphore (especially if I find a male in this pond). You can see the eggs right through its body wall.

Any ideas about if I could actually get it to lay eggs in captivity?

Best,
Kenny
