Fire Salamander birth questions

[Llamaguy36]

My fire salamander gave birth to 6 little guys about a week ago. She hasn't given birth to any more since, even though she is still very large. Is there a way to coax her into releasing the rest of her larvae?

Has anything changed since she started? and has she produced larvae before?

every evening at dusk ensure with a fine sprayer for high humidity -
so it works with my female

Mine gave birth for over a month, think they have stopped now, but one of them is still on the large side. I did notice that on the nights when they had the most, it had been raining outside (even though they are inside) so maybe low air pressure had something to do with it.

I shall try that, thank you and yes she has given birth before. And no nothing has changed. Same diet, same tank, same everything.

This is my female. She is 5 years old. I've got little terra cotta water holders set up inside the tank which she has given birth in before. The 6 little guys she had are in a 5 gallon plastic tub with java moss, ricia, dead leaves and gravel. They are a little more than an inch long and are eating chopped earthworms and fruit flies.

Hmmm.... Still no luck. I wonder if she is only going to have 6 babies this year...:nono:
