I have 5 Spanish Ribbed Newts that I got as a bit of a rescue. I have not got a clue how old they are and I know they can grow to be quiet large, but I was wondering on average how long they get before they start breeding.

Thanks

Mine were about 7 inches when they started breeding like houseflies. How big are they 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?
