So I am a new axolotl mom of 2 the day after I got them and put them in the tank together this happened she’s been laying eggs for almost 24 hours now and this happened. It looks like she’s done laying the eggs but i don’t know if this is normal!? No one seems to know much about them or this process can anyone help me I’m so scared something is wrong 🥺

"Female axolotls can lay between 100-700 eggs in one clutch, but the average is around 300. During this time, the female will grasp plants with her back legs and rub on them. Her genitals, or cloaca, will be swollen and red. While she is laying eggs, do not disturb her. If your axolotl pushes out anything other than eggs, such as something that looks like flesh, she may be fatally injured."

    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?
