Now is around the time of year that laoensis begin courting again!
I didn't want to create a new thread, but I would like to add my experience to the mix. It seems as though I was successful this year. :happy: Temperatures have been cooling rapidly over here, and the water temperature was 54.2 F (12.3 C) when the first attempt and successful mating occurred. It was pitch-black when I turned on the light and saw the scene depicted in the attached picture.
Please excuse the quality! It was dark, and I didn't want to surprise them by turning on the light, so I just took a quick shot. You can see a spermataphore under the female, the male biting the female, and you can see the spermataphore hanging from her cloaca slightly.
Any other stories for this year? I wish you all the best of luck!

Hi Paul.
I have 8 juvenile laoensis (about 5 months old) that I bought from a local breeder and he sold them to me as terrestrial. How long do I wait before introducing them to water.
Can I make up a setup like yours with 1/2 land 1/2 water? In land, for me, they are proven very difficult to feed since they don't show any interest in food. Maybe this will be different in water.
The temps in the newt room are currently 60f (16c), I tried feeding them fruit flies, pinhead crickets, small meal worms. The only thing that seems to works is putting a bunch of black worms in a small white dish with a little water and they somewhat seem interested.
Anyway, I know they are eating some of it, but I feel as if they should be eating more.
They are in a big plastic tub approx 36"lx20"wx20"t.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance fopr your help.

Hi Paul.
At what temps do you raise your juveniles?
I'm having a hard time getting a group of juveniles to eat. My newt room is 60f, so I'm wondering if this too cold?

SkudulfXD: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+1

Toast69: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!+1
