Hey hey,
I was wondering how long it takes for the female to lay her eggs after amplexing. Thanks.

These guys have a reputation for engaging in a lot of amplexus, often without any resulting egg-laying. Such promiscuity! Don't hold your breath.

Curses! Lil punks. Thanks for the info, though. So, if the amplexus is um...for real, do they immediately lay their eggs?
 
Hi Vanessa,

no they take about 4-12 weeks after amplexus to lay their eggs and this over a time of up to 2 months.

Hey hey,
thanks so much for the answer. I've been reading lots of articles on breeding newts, but I can't find much that is specific enough. I eat up everything on this site and kingsnake.com. Any sites\reading to recomend? Thanks again.
