Glad to see this female is laying eggs. I've had this group for sometime now. And after a 35 day cooling in the fridge at 42 degrees F, I see a female laying eggs. Didn't see males courting but I'm sure they did.
I've not seen any courting from my H. orientalis group, either, but am finding eggs nonetheless. Most are fuzzy, though, which is a huge frustration... Best of luck with yours!
Hello, just a quick question about the 35 day refrigerating. How did you monitor the temps and did you do water changes everyday? Did you feed them a ton before putting them in? I'm curious because I have always wanted to try this, but have been afraid that I might lose my newts.
Well my refrigerator is set to a certain temp and I didn't need to monitor temps. Feeding was normal previous to the cooling. I feed them every few days, worms and black worms. I really didn't do anything special besides putting them in a container with little water and a rock that bike the surface of the water, in case they wanted to get terrestrial. That's it.
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?
