Does P. waltl have TSD? If so, what temperatures produce males, and what temp for females?

Also, is there a minimum temp for successful development? My newt room was around 71-73 in the summer, but now that is cooling down outside I am letting it cool down so my Laotriton start laying eggs. My P. waltl have laid a lot of eggs in the past couple weeks, and the eggs/larvae will be developing at lower temperatures than the eggs laid in the spring and summer. Cooler water temp doesn't seem to be stopping the adult P. waltl from laying eggs.
 
Sorry, I should have clarified that. It is Temperature-dependent Sex Determination.

    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?
