Silly question. I have an axie, and she is very round bellied, ermh,fat. Many people seem to think she has eggs in her tummy. But she is the only axie I have, so she cannot be pregnant. Is it possible she would be carrying 'empty' eggs? And would she 'lay' them?

Sorry about my stupidity
 
from what i've heard they heave eggs all the time, i don't know if it's possible if she lay's them without a male but if she does they wont be fertile, so you dont have baby's.. I hope this helps, and please correct me if i'm wrong!
 
They will develop the eggs "just in case", you never know when a male is going to show up. She probably won't lay them (most don't if they're not fertilized), but if she does lay a few, they'll not be fertile, just like Leslie said.

Don't ever be sorry about asking questions. Like my professor says, "if you don't know it, chances are there are 20 other people in this class that don't know either".
 
Thanks for your very helpful replies. That has now put my mind at rest

    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?
