[kayleejane]

I think that's normal for Cynops newts, one of my female C. pyrrhogaster has been laying on and off all summer. I'm glad I collected some to raise early in the year because the other newts have learned to follow her round and eat the eggs almost as fast as she's laying them! How are your babies doing?

 

[kayleejane]

they are doing good they have their little back legs ill take another picture and put it up i havent been collecting any eggs lately cause i have a full time job with all these babies my newts have also been eating them as fast as she is laying them she eats them too lol. maby thats why they havent been eating their worms because theyve been eating all the worms.
