hi
ive recently noticed my newts following eachother around, nose to tail, and i was wondering is this the sign that they are breeding, afterall it is the season for it.
any advice?
thanks
 
When my newts are becoming primed for breeding, the first thing I notice is the male(s) tail takes on a slight sheen, and he will start to actively follow any females around. Soon after tail fanning commences. As long as you have an adult pair and they are well fed and healthy, you will probably get eggs - these guys aren't tricky to breed. Good luck!

    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?
