Caught a few pics of my paddletails the other day. I also have pics of my mature male and a younger one for comparison.

That's true, I still can't figure out what she does to her T.granulosas to get them to breed!
 
I have five Paddletails (all Labiatus) and they all get on well together, occaisionally they fight but only over food. in fact my two females and one of my males are beginning to feed out of my hand when i offer them prawns
 
My males are also showing signs of wanting to mate (they have swollen cloacas and papillae and are constantly waving their tales at the females) however the females do not seem to be receptive. is there any way i can encourage them to mate?

I have noticed that the temp, a constant low temp makes them chiil put, and swim together making some acrobacy, i live in the warm central america, and get a low temp is almost a nobel price goal for low prices.

    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.
