Hi, I was wondering how large a S.s.salamandra has to be before I can sex it? Also, what are some ways I can sex it other. Than the conventional way?
 
Really they need to be 4-5 inches long, but sometimes sooner, but no guarantees at those sizes!!

Hi,

if you try sexing them this early, it often happens, that "females" will turn out as males later...

Regards, Ingo

    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?
