How to stop female from laying eggs

Hello!

I have a full grown female (about 3 years old) and a male. They both had several times eggs (5 times in 2018). I've learned today that my male did lay his "sperm tower" once again, so I' expecting eggs again soon. As I'm not in my country and I'd like to give a break to my poor little girl, is a tank divider enough? My tank is big enough to be separated in 2, but I'd like to know if it will be enough from preventing her from having more eggs for the next couple of months.

Thanks for your help! And sorry for the potential mistakes; I speak French :)

A divider should be enough, just make sure they can't jump it!

    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?
