Courtship behavior of Onychodactylus fischeri with the male (light salamander) approaching the female's (dark salamander) vent, rubbing against the female's abdomen and straddling the female. two to four days after injection. In another day oocytes appeared in the body cavity and three days later they filled the oviducts. From hormone injection to readiness for spawning usually took from six to 10 days. We observed 6 cases of spawning, two of which were followed by spermatophore deposition. In the hormonally treated animals approximately one to two days before spawning the female salamander ceased most activity and assumed a typical pre- spawning posture on a stone with the rear third of the body in the water. At this time the male moves about the aquarium, periodically approaches the female touching his snout to her vent, rubbing his body on hers and resting beside her (Fig. 4). The.
