Hi. I'm new here and I'm Tomasz Janulewicz and I'm from Poland.
I have an problem with my A. tigrinum. About 25 days my Ambystoma ( 1.1 ) is in aquarium ( 70x35x30cm) Ad in Spring they have hibernation ( in 15'C, yes i know it's too high, but I wasnt' in home in this time) And I see to female is very fat and I give them to aquarium in temp -5-6'C, female has bigger kloaka than all time, am mal has something like palpitae on kloaka, I don't know what i must to do more, I worried about my female but i thing to she can die when they didn't laying eggs.
It's couple of pictures:
Male :

Breeding tigers is pretty rare. You can mist the tank to simulate rain, and add a water feature that has sticks in it. The female will lay eggs on clumps of sticks.

My female swells up like this every spring, and as long as I have had her, she has never laid eggs. Salamanders don't usually suffer from egg impaction; they just reabsorb the eggs.

Thanks. I'm trying to breed A. mavortium but cannot find breeding weights as indicators of maturity. My male weighs 80g and my 2 females weigh 90 and 110g.

    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?
