Hey hey,
I was wondering how long it takes for the female to lay her eggs after amplexing. Thanks.

These guys have a reputation for engaging in a lot of amplexus, often without any resulting egg-laying. Such promiscuity! Don't hold your breath.

Curses! Lil punks. Thanks for the info, though. So, if the amplexus is um...for real, do they immediately lay their eggs?
 
Hi Vanessa,

no they take about 4-12 weeks after amplexus to lay their eggs and this over a time of up to 2 months.

Hey hey,
thanks so much for the answer. I've been reading lots of articles on breeding newts, but I can't find much that is specific enough. I eat up everything on this site and kingsnake.com. Any sites\reading to recomend? Thanks again.

    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?
