Re: Pseudoeurycea breeding
here are the updated pictures.
First off, here is an egg from the second clutch. As you can see, the larvae is developing nicely inside the egg.
This next one is one of the babies (Counted 12 so far from the first clutch) on the mother. The adult is maybe 4 inches long, so these babies are TINY!
Here is another hatchling next to a group of eggs.
And just for a size comparison, this is one of them on my pinkie nail! Like I said TINY!
As for husbandry...these guys are kept cool. Temps never go above 75F. The enclosure is a 10g aquarium. There is an undergravel filter (from a fish tank) with the air towers. On top of that is 3 inches of aquarium gravel, then about 4 inches of cypress mulch mixed with coconut husk mulch. That is topped off with a layer of cork bark covered in live Sphagnum moss. The salamander usually hang out under the cork bark, but occasionally will be between the moss and the bark. All of this is misted daily with Reverse Osmosis water, usually in the morning. The bottom of the tank has a drain so any excess water just fall out of the tank. The adults are fed pinhead or 1/4 inch crickets weekly. The babies are being offered springtails and fruitflies.
