I have had my pleurodeles waltl from very small juveniles and they seem to be in amplexus for a past time! They are now adult and still enjoying a cuddle,however I noticed today the female has been laying eggs on and off all day,the male however is still pursuing her and has again got her into amplexus.Is this natural for the male to be so eager even when the female is egg laying?Will this harm the female in any way?

Hey Cloth,

I just got another batch from my P. waltl last night and they do the same thing. I'm pretty sure it's normal.

in about five months I've got four batches of eggs...and there is no sign of stopping..female is about twice the size of the male from the eggs still.

It's crazy how much they breed.

I only attempted raising the first batch. The second batch I left in the tank to be consumed by the parents, the third batch I attmped to send to some friends but it ended up being a bad batch or me making a mistake that caused them to all mold over, and this last batch is going to go to friends as well. I may raise a few more, but I don't think I will. WHat about you?

Currently I've raised about 20 from the first batch to morphing..which they started this week. It's alot of work, but very fun. They grow so quickly!!!

Good luck with everything.

    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?
