2015 Axolotl egg development

I put together a series of pictures of axolotl egg development.  My eggs last year always hatched at two weeks- they were warmer.  The room temperature in the basement vs the main floor in our house is about 5 degrees different.  The upstairs stays around 70 degrees vs basement 63-65 degrees.  My 2015 eggs had about a third hatch at 14 days with the majority still in eggs on day 19.

Alpine newt egg developement

I wasn't anticipating eggs this year from the Alpine newts.  The basement does get super cold and they love it.  I was surprised to find eggs but have been very pleased to see them developing.  Here is the first few weeks of developement.

They love the tips of the hornwort.  I thought they would all be duds until I saw them getting bean shape.
