Lonely Taricha

I think I will need to start looking for a couple of females to pair up with my male. When I went to feed him a piece of earthworm, he tried to clasp the tweezers....

Im in the same boat as you Ed, tonight I got my first Taricha in 12 years. I will need to find him a female friend hopefully next spring!

I had this problem too you guys! I have acquired a juvenile recently who is in quarantine. Unfortunately, I think it may be a male also.

My male's still in quarantine (he also clasps the tweezers), but my females look full of eggs. S when he comes out at the end of the month... cross your fingers and keep your eyes on the wanted section!

Funny. As a kid I remember some of the Taricha newts I had years ago which clung to my fingers when I picked them up. It never occurred to me why they did this until 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?
