Hello,
I've had my trio of fire salamanders (1.3) for about a year now. I plan on acquiring another mature pair and would like to overwinter them and give breeding a shot next spring. My question is basically what is the best method? I have never tried breeding any animals that needed a winter rest period before. How many weeks/months is recommended for dormancy? How long before should I stop feeding? How low does the temperature have to be? Should I put all the individuals in a large container after winter to initiate breeding? Any pointers would be helpful! I am by no means new to animale care or breeding, just breeding a species with a dormancy period. Thanks.
