Cynops ensicauda popei eggs 5-12-2020 AddText_05-12-06.15.45.jpg

Here are 7 eggs of the Gold-Dust Newt, Cynops ensicauda popei. I had a group of these in Ireland until I moved to the USA in 2005. It's great to have these little ones and hopefully they'll do well. I raised my first group from eggs back in 2004.

Incidentally, this is a crop of a photo taken with an LG V60 mobile phone in 64MP mode and a cheap clip on close-up lens.

    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?
