That's great! This is a species we don't hear much about. Would you mind posting more pictures of your adult setup? What is their care like?
"Hynobius yiwuensis" is a species which closed to "Hynobius chinease".
I found them in a hill (elevation about 100m,southeast of CHINA).
They enjoy wet environment,soft soil.You'll find bambood around.
They are afraid of high temrature.I keep them below 26℃ in summer.
I only took a half of the sac, didn't bring adult one home.
setup : Aquatic cotton,sphagna and water

FragileCorpse:Should I wash out the spray bottle I just bought for my salamander? Or should I not clean it with soap n shit first becayuse thats adding "chemicals" Just want to be safe/+1

Captive Bread:@FragileCorpse do you still have the AC? Put the tank where the cold air will hit the glass (I hope its glass, wood and acrylic trap heat), this usually lovers my tank by about 5 to 6 degrees. Also what lid do you use? If its a screen lid then what helps me is to spray extra in the morning so the evaporate can cool the vivarium.+2

Captive Bread:Another thing I am experimenting with is live plants. I want to believe live plants cool it too by moving water but that could just be me having to mist everything extra.+2

salamandernewbe101:@FragileCorpse, Salamanders require a 10-12 hour day light cycle using an incandescent light with low levels of UVB lighting recommended. Never put your tank in direct sunlight, as the sunlight can heat the tank up too much.+2

Skdecoteau:@salamandernewbe101, just hatched will probably need BBS. I highly recommend the Brine Shrimp Hatchery Dish from Brine Shrimp Direct. It's wicked easy. Can be ordered from Amazon, two day if you get the one without eggs & order the eggs separately.+1
