I am really interested in breeding my T.shanjing but would like some advice from others who have done so. Like how to stimulate them to breed, like temperatures, ect.... I would like to know so I am prepared as best as I can be. Thank you,

Keep them dry in the winter with low temparture(not below 5 celcius!)
Thats the biggest trigger!

Yep. Cool dry winter, warm wet spring. In the wild T.Shanjing breeds during the monsoon. If you have a water dish in your tank try keeping the water level low in the winter, one centimetre. In the spring the use of a rain chamber can be useful but not necessary. As long as the temperature rises and it becomes significantly wetter, your newts should get the clue. Happy breeding!:D

I have found that raising water elevation is a great trigger for getting breeding. It is complimented by the light cycle.

Good Luck!

    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?
