Hi all!

I was wondering how you people tell if a newt is male or female? In T. Granulosa I tell the males by the vent, i think i am decently accurate.....well ill find out in the breeding season anyhow :p. But i have heard you can also tell the males apart by the leg length how flattened the ventral surface is. Is there any other ways? And what do you usually do to tell males and females apart? Not just in T. grans but all newts and salamanders. -Seth

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    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?
