Anybody live in NC? My axolotls had lots of eggs. I'm considering raising them and selling them, mostly because I don't know what else to do with the eggs. Any advice on raising or what to do with the eggs? Thanks guys?

My axolotls are still reproducing and I'm having no luck with the babies. About 3-4 weeks after hatching, they keep dying off. Any suggestions?

what is your exact procedure in raising them? like, day in, day out, what do you do? it sounds like a matter of trial and error

So, when they are eggs I'll take them out of the main tank and put them in glass containers. Then I get them brine shrimp once it twice a day. They might go a day without eating every now and again because of the shrimp cycles, which I have two going at the same time. It is trial and error lol, and a bit of a headache.

FragileCorpse:Should I wash out the spray bottle I just bought for my salamander? Or should I not clean it with soap n shit first becayuse thats adding "chemicals" Just want to be safe/+1

Captive Bread:@FragileCorpse do you still have the AC? Put the tank where the cold air will hit the glass (I hope its glass, wood and acrylic trap heat), this usually lovers my tank by about 5 to 6 degrees. Also what lid do you use? If its a screen lid then what helps me is to spray extra in the morning so the evaporate can cool the vivarium.+2

Captive Bread:Another thing I am experimenting with is live plants. I want to believe live plants cool it too by moving water but that could just be me having to mist everything extra.+2

salamandernewbe101:@FragileCorpse, Salamanders require a 10-12 hour day light cycle using an incandescent light with low levels of UVB lighting recommended. Never put your tank in direct sunlight, as the sunlight can heat the tank up too much.+2

Skdecoteau:@salamandernewbe101, just hatched will probably need BBS. I highly recommend the Brine Shrimp Hatchery Dish from Brine Shrimp Direct. It's wicked easy. Can be ordered from Amazon, two day if you get the one without eggs & order the eggs separately.+1
