We bougth this new female(Hera) in January and she was quite big by then already. Now she is about 18cm and has laid eggs already 2 times. I am scared that she is too small to lay eggs already?
The 2 other albino males(Hercules and Zeuys) are about 30cm big and fully grown- ups already so they have no problem.
Since when we first bought the albino axies we hoped that one of them was female but they were not, so we bought a new one hoping that it would be and looks like she is :D we bought the biggest one I have seen in the shop so that they would not have any problems with the other ones. Its just that I did not think that they would breed so quickly because as much as I have read then this takes time and is quite rare.
It is weird because I have not noticed her being really round or bigger from the stomack and all of a sudden there are new eggs.
I am happy for the eggs because thats what we wanted but maybe it is too much on her?
I mean I am still trying to grow the larvae from the first batch.
What should I do? Do I really have to separate her from the males?
I will add some photos of them to see the size difference.

If you don't want to keep hundreds of them, then separate them. It is the only logical
thing to do, unless you have room for more.
 
But i mean is this really bad for the.mother if she keeps laing eggs all the time wheb she is not 18months old? And i wont have hundreds of babies because the big axolotls will eat them once they hatch so that is not the problem.
