Looks like last years breeding wasn't just dumb luck.

Pics of eggs discovered today and a pic of one of last years offspring. Sorry for the poor quality:

I'm really glad to hear this! I would love to see captive bred populations of Pachytriton in the hobby and this is a good sign of that coming. Good luck with this years eggs.
 
Awesome, Erik! So, same conditions as last year, and the same parents? And I don't care about poor picture quality - please post more:) About how big are last years "crop" now? How many morphed, and did you have a high or low mortality rate for eggs, larvae, metamoprhs? Fill us in, please!
 
The eggs are fertile. They look like they are still several weeks away from hatching.

I really need a new camera.
 
That's great news Erik! Good luck with the larvae.
 
Wow congratulations!
Could you inform us about the condition you kep them year round? Temperature? photoperiod? diet? or whatever that could be interesting.
Best greetings
Yago

    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?
