hello, i have some red spotted newts that were produced lat year. basically just wondering if it is too early for them/ too dangerous for them to reproduce this year. the male is in full breeding colours etc and is grabbing the female like they do. but they are way small still.

any ideas

I think I would separate them: the courtship will be stressful for the female, and the male won't eat while he has sex on the brain. I'd probably keep them apart for one more year at least.

    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?
