Oh man! I hope I can breed T.shanjing one day. Of all my species , I'd like to breed them the most. Nice job!

This year is going to be good voor T.shanjing(at least in my house)
All the eggs are hatched and the first group is landing.

This is really good to see - brilliant work! What temperature are you keeping the larvae at?

Ben I hope you do breed t.shanjing. We need some breeders in canada! The "for sale" section of this forum is pretty much dead for canadians. I have looked everywhere for T.shanjing in quebec and have had 0 luck. Hopefully the reptile expo in montreal will have some for me....

I keep them with different temperature's.
I keep 50 larvea on 14 á 15 degrees C.
50 ,, ,, 20 á 21 ,, C.
and 40 ,, ,, somwhere between.
The older larvea have the lowest temp.
Because when there just hatched thy wil be dead in á day or so,when the temperature is below 16 degree's C.

Glad to see others are working and breeding this species. Do others find that the morphs take a while to get started eating? If anyone is interested in trading for increased genetic stock let me know.

Great job Petro! I have tried for two years to get my T. Shanjing to breed and thy will not do the "silly silly". I even induced hibernation and nothing? Maybe I should use a larger breeding tank (more H2O). Any sugestions would be great! I have read through most of the forums trying to see what other preople do. I was told they were Wild Caught so they might be stubbern. Grrrrrr!

freves · Oct 14, 2009

I agree. I have become frustrated with my groups. This winter I plan on putting some in the fridge to see if that makes any difference. Congratuations Petro! I would love to see this species produced on a regular bases by hobbyists.

After 6 years I was able to finally get mine to breed. My females always had the eggs, it was getting the males in the mood. I keep mine mostly aquatic (can send pics if anyone is interested). I use the protocol the Detroit Zoo uses. When I was ready I raised the water level a couple of inches and increased the light cycle. After a week so I noticed spermatophors on the land and the enclosure trashed. Shortly after I was getting eggs anf for the next month or so after. in total I would say I got 200-300 hundred eggs from 2 females.

Would be happy to chat more on this. Also interested in trading for new genes. Mine are F1 and the females were purchased w.c. adults in 2003.

Don't give up hope, they come around!

Hey Dave,
Post a pic of your set up. I was told to make it mostly terrestrial then submerge in the spring, but this may not be enough? Would like to see how breeding newts live. Would like to chat more as well about your methods.
If you are looking to trade out for new genes try contacting "Tree walkers International" and look at their stewardship program. Its their primary goal to promote crossing with other breeders, and they could use more caudate members.
Cheers

Hey Tyler,

Here are a couple of pics. These were right after the female started laying eggs in July, The water is normally an 1.5 inches less deep. The second pic has eggs. Got 3 rounds of eggs this year.

Hope this is helpful
