I had my t.marms and my dobrogicus in the basement for 4 weeks now. The tempurature down there is about 47 degrees to 50 degrees. Is 4 weeks long enough for them to start cresting?

Cooling period
- Thread starter Neotenic_Jaymes

It depends on the animals. I have 2 males, one crests up easily, sometimes with just a change in photo period. The other won`t crest up unless he has a minimum of 2 month cooling around 42 F. If you are overly eager, you can try to warm them up a little and see what happens, you can tell rather quickly, within a week or two whether or not they will come into breeding. If they don`t, just cool them down for a few more weeks, maybe at a slightly cooler temp.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
