just to show last year was'nt a one off they,ve been at it again this year.
sorry for the poor picture quality but the side of the tank has a slight growth of algae and i didn't want to disturb her by cleaning it.

Congratulations Ian! That's great news. (the newt eggs, and the gecko)
 
Congrats, Ian! So yours lay eggs on plants? The photos from Erik K. showed his paddletail eggs attached to a clay pot, so I thought they might be newts that lay on rocks.
 
They are laid on a lump of driftwood jen its just the poor quality of the picture, i'll try to gently clean the glass and get a better shot.
 
Ian, thats great news! Can you tell us what conditions your animals are housed in? I like to learn the specifics:)
 
they are in a three foot tank, five in all, two males. I have a filter which keeps the water moving, gravel bottom and drift wood and pots for hiding places, although she has laid eggs on driftwood both times now. I tend to disturb them as little as possible just the odd water top up. I leave them in the garage all winter and the temps get pretty low down to around 2 degrees, as soon as the temps rise slightly the dominant male courts the females, the other two females are now in the pots but i cant see if the have eggs.
 
I know this is an old thread but I was wondering what paddletail morphs looked like and if they were terrestrial or not. Do you have pics of the larvae and morphs?
 
Ah! How do people get paddle tails to breed? Mine wont. Oh well congrats anyhow! :)

    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.
