My female laying eggs:

Here you see how the cloaca "works", laying eggs deep between two leaves.

Eight eggs in one series:

Wow, Paul...what a great sight to see. Thanks for sharing. Now if only mine would do the same thing!
 
congratulations paul!
my female is looking gravid for a month or so, but still no eggs.
 
Well well this is looking very good. All my animals now develop a nice white tail ... It's nice to se but ... don't know wether I need to laugh or cry ???

Nice to see that these Paramesotriton also lay there eggs in row like we are sued to see from other paramesotritons (so they read the good book). Much success in rearing them Paul...
 
"All" your animals, Henk? Females too?
 
All my animals indeed , but if they contain females that's aonther question ... think all are males (there's one doubtfull case), so that's why ...

Yet another good reason to establish a registry for this species.
 
I agree Ralf!
We urgently need a registry for laoensis, for breeding groups and changing information - as much as possible!
And we need a lot of breeding, that we never will have mass imports of this species.

I'm willing to register them into the H. dunni setup software as I demonstrated in Gersfeld 2005. But I do not have sufficient time to establish the same efforts 'literature study, breeding data gathering) as for my H. dunni with this species. So if I can help with the register of this species, I am open to a joint collaboration with someone else ... and just for the good order my communication channel to actualise the studbook is email.
Also i someone else wants to cover it all , then I'll be happy to join in as a regular member.

So far Henk, there is of course very little literature available on this species!
That's another reason why a register is very important.
But don't forget that it is also important to show to the outside world that you take the keeping of this species in captivity serious. There is a global program starting where zoos are going to start captive breeding programs for endangered species. although P. laoensis is perhaps not threatened in nature, it's distribution area is very small and a few big exports can for sure damage populations. It is therefor important to show that we as keepers take it serious and try to establish a stud book for this species.
 
Can not agree more Sergé, so I am willing to take part and help, but can certainly now, not carry the whole load.
 
Glorious!

And what interesting coloration they start out with!

My 2 (3?) females are getting acquainted with the new plants in their aquarium...and hopefully scouting out oviposition sites...
 
Any update for us on those eggs, Paul?
 
@Tim, nothing new until now!
16 to 18 °C and the eggs develope very slow. Nearly four weeks until now and I think it will take one or two weeks until the first larvae slip.
But delicate to fungus! Lost some fertile eggs!

I think, other do well, but I am waiting

Dear friends!

In the meantime I got E-mail from several people to build up this Register, and we already did it.
Have a look at www.ag-urodela.de
Here "Molchregister"
There you can see, that Gustavo Espallargas now is the new godfather of a P.laoensis and a P.deloustali Register.

So, if you want to give some support, please write to Gustavo.

Thanks for the great photo Paul.

I will be happy to register my 4 P. laoensis if what is envisaged is an international register and not just a European one

Good work!
 
Jep ....

Five and a half week!
I brought the temperature from 16°c up to 20 °C.
Yesterday the first Larva slipped.

In the meantime I have six.
What can I say?
They look like larvae

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
