Hello everyone i have a whole bunch of spanish ribbed eggs laid by my new newt i got three weeks ago, they are developing well and i was wondering if there is any way that by looking at them i could tell if they will be leucistic or wild type? please email me at maelstrom1_20@msn.com as i dont really have a way of browsing reliably.
 
Many of the ribbed newts available in our area have come from one breeder who also produces leucistics. I expect that many of the "normals" are heterzygous for leucism and thus stand a fair chance of producing such in their litters.
 
thats what i thought i was just wondering if they would look different that early or what not

It's impossible to tell by the egg; within a few days of hatching however it's pretty obvious if there's leucistic larvae...they are white and see-through while the eyes appear darker than a "regular" ribbed newt.

    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?
