Tylotriton Yangi Breeding Questions

Hi all,

I recently acquired some tylotriton yangi and had some questions. The previous owner didn't cool them, but have heard of some people succeeding in breeding them without a specific cooling period (just going through seasonal changes in the house temperature/air pressure changes). They have not bred for him however he hasn't done anything like simulating rain, increasing the temperature etc. If I were to do so, would it stimulate breeding? All 3 go in and out of the water regularly and 2 seem to have volcano shaped cloacas, but aren't showing bright breeding colours. Also, when cooling in the winter, what is a suitable range in terms of temperature? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Awesome that is pretty detailed thanks, I must have missed it under the previous classification. The only thing I didn't see in there is a temperature range, do you (or anyone else reading this) happen to know a rough range for an effective cool? I've heard mixed things based on other tylos.

Facebook is more satisfying for some, but it lacks any means to search through topics sytematically.. well it has no topics... facebook is more like a mindless quicky, whichs doens't create any lasting memories. ;)

    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?
