I was feeding when I saw my smaller newt locked on to my larger newt, both mostly motionless. He had his legs on her (assuming) chest and tried eating while still attached. I broke them up out of fear she was being hurt. In hindsight I think it might have been amplexus. They're most likely wild caught, I got them in spring, they're settled and are both very fat. Maybe just wishful thinking but is it possible?

that sounds like amplexus to me.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
