I collected three juvenile (~3-5cm) A.vagrans near Crescent City in May of 2003. Earlier this winter I could see ova forming in two of them, so I assume I got lucky and collected 1.2. While checking them this afternoon I looked from the underside of their box because one of the females had been digging around for a couple of weeks. Sure enough I could see her upside down brooding eggs. Here she is looking out after I removed the piece of bark they were attached to.

Here are the eggs. That isn't the female but one of the other vagrans that wouldn't stay out of the way.

Here's a closer shot. there are 21+ eggs in this clutch. I've put them on perlite as I do with all my eggs now.

    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?
