I got these four wc kweichows earlier this year. Does someone look eggnant? Oh, if she would lay, that would be so great!!!

This is exactly what Elektra looks like (T. verrucosus) before she lays. But she lays in July.

Someone certainly looks ready to burst! Have you noticed any breeding activity?
 
I never see it, I've never seen my T. verr do anything, but I know they certainly are. They must be shy. I've seen my other newts tail-fanning and such, recently. As recently as yesterday.
 
You obviously have very polite newts!
I cant stop looking at how much bigger the bottom newts head is! Its huge!
I hope its pregnant, the best of luck!
 
If I hadn't seen a newt this large lay eggs before, I'd freak out that it was bloated or something bad. Luckily, I've seen it before.
 
When you say "I got these four..." do you realise there are just two in the photo and one looks like she's eaten the missing ones? :D

BTW love the word eggnant...did you come up with that?
 
That female is huge. You must have something in the air there.
 
There are four in the tank but only two in the pic, but she certainly does look like she ate them!

The other two are a similar looking pair, but the fat one isn't quite as fat as this one. I'm hoping what I have are two pairs...

Yes, I invented that work "eggnant." Also other words I'm hoping will catch on, for example, "urodelarium" for a salamander enclosure...feel free to use it!
 
Aww sorry :-(, I feel your disappointment! I hope there is still time for them to get busy.

    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.
