Ive tried but cant seem to get close enough.

Im pretty sure shes a girl now though, as the bit that shows the male/female part is small like the females also she is quite plump like she has eggs.

just monitor them, just like people, axies mature at different ages, unlike people, they are sometimes harder to sex.

monitor them, the amount of times i have seen people suddenly have a female, turn male on them :p

good luck

ps. cute photo, mine white guy was hanging in a tree like that last night, was rather funny to watch him "untangle" herself

judging by your photo you will have to wait a few more months before you can determine the sex, cute pic tho

    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?
