A few of you might of seen my previous thread on how I work at a petstore and there was a paddle tailed newt possiably gravid.Well she was sold so I'am not sure if she layed eggs or not at her new home.But I went to work today agian and I seen the males with neon blue dots on there tails,they were fanning there tails,swollen cloaca,and some hairy looking thing coming out there swollen cloaca.

I'am going to tell you guys how we have been keeping them and maybe this made them try to breed?

We do water changes every other day on them .And when it was summer we kept the airconditioner right on top of there tank and the temprature was really cold.I'am not sure how cold but it was really cold.The cold temprature in there tank was around for maybe 1-2 months.Then when it got colder outside we turned the heaters on the store and the temprature right now is about 75-80 F.Maybe this could of triggered them to try to breed.
 
I have paddletails who have exhibited breeding behavior every year for years but no eggs...including the hairy cloaca.

    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!
