Tis the Season for Newt Breeding

Well all, another one now.

First it was the P. waltl, who wouldn't stop. Then it was the T. granulosa, which laid a fair bit (most were duds though, and their new owner said they began laying almost immediatly once she had them again). Now, the C. orientalis said they want in on the deal too. I've found one egg so far in the Chinese firebelly tank, and I'm sure more are to come. I have seen the mating behaviours now too (of course after I see the egg..lol). Well, maybe it won't be too long until my S. s. terrestris lay, as I've seen spermaphore transfers in them. It's quite amazing over here with all these little bundles.

Lets hope I have these kind of success when m collection has fully been switched over to ambystomids.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
