So this morning I saw my newt eft crawl out of his hide and literally raise up off his front legs and do an "Upward Facing Newt" pose! Then I realized that maybe he was performing the unken reflex, though I'd have no idea what startled him. I was only passing by the tank and happened to notice this.

Has anyone else seen their newt do this? Anyways, though I'd share since it looked so neat :happy:

I have seen one of my c orientals do this when feeding from tweezers. He was really excited for some blood worms that day
 
he must have thought you looked peckish
 
I agree with the others. Probably got excited for food once it noticed you!

    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?
