How cool are those guys. I wish I had some really colourful newts like those.

These newts are so awesome looking. I just got a pair and had a holiday dinner yesterday, so 10 members of my family saw them. They couldn't believe them either. My brother accused me of painting my firebelly newts and trying to pass them off as new newts. Even my mother said "wow" and the only word she's ever used for my other newts was "eew"!

Are those offspring from this past year, or an older group, Michael? I see some breeding color on at least one male in the group, so they look like they might be "ready for action". Be sure to get them really cold this winter (50F or below).

The ones in the yellowish looking picture are from this year. The ones with the blue bottom are older.
Thanks for the tip Jen.

Good looking animals there Michael.

I have a bunch of juveniles and a bunch of adults. I hope the adults breed this year. They are acting like it. The tanks are down to about 62F but it hasn't been cold hear. I might have to move a couple pair to the coldest spot in the basement. What is the warmest temp they will breed at?

 

[jennifer]

They lay eggs (very consistently for many breeders) at 12-14C (53-57F). I pretty sure they won't breed unless they get down to at least that cold.
