Now what I did is I kept my kweichos for 3 months in the cellar (13-16°C) then I kept them for one week in my bedroom (22°C) misting the terrarium every day to increase humidity.
Yesterday I put the two males in the aquarium in my room (22°C) and they were all right. This morning I put the female; she is really plump and full of eggs. The males immediately began tail fanning and one of them clasped her. The problem is while the males have gone completely aquatic and show no sign of stress for being in the water, the female instead floated. Even though there was amplexus I had to remove her to avoid her being drowned by the frisky males.
The question is: does the female need a bit more time to get in breeding condition before being put in the water or am I a bit too anxious and I should put her back in water and let the males do their job?
The pictures are poor but you can still notice the spermatophore in the first picture under the male's cloaca.
Cheers
