Hi there everyone! :)

I'm the proud owner of a beautiful axolotl named Shuna and a couple of fire bellied toads called Cherie and Muckle. Cherie's a girl, it seems; Muckle's a boy.

A couple of days ago I found them in amplexus: Muckle's been calling every evening for a while and I guess Cherie finally took the bait! Anyway, they apparently spawned: the tank has a little jelly in it now in a couple of places. However, there are no eggs in the jelly....

Could this be a practice run, so to speak? It's curious. Have any of you ever experienced anything like this? :sick:
 
is the jelly thin with tiny black dots all over it? if so this is just old shed skin
I mistook it for eggs once
eggs are laid singly on plants in a double membrane like this

these toads will engage in amplexus with anything regardless of whether or not it's receptive, even a female, or even an animal (mine amplex the bamboo plant a lot)
it's also possible the jelly is too thin or it's being disturbed so the eggs are falling out of it and sinking

    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?
