Pseudotriton ruber breeding success!

I'm getting a big group of ltc adults. Any suggestions or tips on keeping these guys?

I keep my group between the temps of 40-60 degrees. Obviously it's about 60 now in their tank. In winter temps will drop and that's when I usually see eggs. P. ruber can lay during different times of the year depending on population but mine lay in winter. Also I use sand as a main substrate and larger rocks to create hides and dens.

I suggest creating a similar setup to their actual habitat and have some sort of flow in the tank. I did notice females maid nests in areas that had a decent amount of flow.
 
hi I have a northern red salamander that is gravid and I haven't seen her lay eggs yet but in time should see some. would be nice to have CBs rubers.

    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?
