Wow, you cb'd them? They look like some kind of Tylototriton! They're pretty cool!

I can't believe how big those babies are!
 
Congratulations, those are really good looking babies :)
I hope to be able to go see them in their natural habitat this year...
 
fire sals

That is a wonderful event! Congratulations!
 
Tom,

Great work...those are beautiful sals and it is shocking to see those big, fully developed morphs come out!

Yes is amazing indeed, I am now attempting to video my other gravid female in hopes of making a birth video , the odds are not with me!
 
i'm sure you'll manage T .Great looking sals by the way.
 
Are the born ore as an larve at the begin.
 
Amazing, good job. Would you be able to post a picture of the setup?
 
Thats what he means, and yes...this ssp is viviparous...they bypass the larvae stage and are born as you see them in the pic. Nice job, Tom!
 
awesome, I didn't know that there was a fire salamander that bypassed the larvae stage, and gave birth to morphed babies

thanks for sharing
 
Actually, there are several....
 
learn something new everyday!

I was aware of fire sals giving birth to larvae and wondered a while back if any went all the way, I never looked into it, now I know!
 
Is there any possibility that the mother would eat the young?

James...Yes, this does happen from time to time. Females have also been know to eat their larvae.

The others are last years brood, one is brown very unusal and striking for this species.

    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?
