Here is some photos of my lovely Triturus Cristatus. Not posted some photos of them for a while so here's an update on them.

Managed to get some action shots during their feeding time. Enjoy!

No signs which are enabling me to sex them though. Any ideas of when they'll start showing signs which will diffrinciate them from genders?

In the last group I raised, the males started showing the beginnings of crests, and darker cloacas, at about 75mm total length, 14 months after metamorphosis.

Ah thank you! Mine morphed in September so it might be abit too early for any signs of gender to start showing.

    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?
