1. I'm not exactly sure in regards to cynops, but it may be diet related (it is in B. orientalis).

2. Mating will occur if the animals are of age and are being kept in a set-up that meets their requirements. Simulating their natural seasonal changes might also be necessary.

3. The "stretchy" stuff is most likely it's shedding skin. This is normal behavior.

Yes, they "yawn" -- especially after feeding

    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?
