Finally! Pachytriton breeding

Thanks for the update, and I look forward to those pics. Just some questions - how small is small at the time of morphing and going terrestrial, and when did they start to morph/how long was the larval period? Look forward to more info,
Heather
 
Hai ,

indeed Erik I bred 'C' but never had the luck of breeding the other types. Very recently I enherited a group of 7 pachytritons that were imported 14 years ago (and doing well) , so maybe this may help.
Anyway I reared the juveniles by forcing them into the water . I had a bare tank with about 2 cm of water and lots of Elodea in it (a green carpet of them) . The juveniles hated it alot and also climbed the glass walls , but after some days they remained in the water. At least until one morning I opened th curtains and direct sunlight heated up the tank , killing my offspring ( I cursed a long time, but it didn't help ;-).
 
Hi! I was wondering if either of you had success after breeding Paramesotriton labiatus in the US?

    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!
