Hello all.

I know Triturus karelinii is from Greece and Turkey, but does anyone know what range of temperatures and other conditions are optimal for successful breeding? Do they need a cool winter, and if so, what temperature is appropriate?

Thanks.

I kept my karelini in my basement which is 65 degrees, and during the winter it drops to about 55 degrees. This is what I believe triggered them to mine to breed, but I'm not exactly sure. Hope this helps.

Thanks Ryan. I wasn't sure if they needed a cold winter but from what you have said, obviously they don't. I'm very hopeful that mine will breed.
