has anyone successfully bread them? any tips?
right now, their tank is in a heated room, but i hear i should "hibernate" them, what tempature should i get it down to and for how long? then bring it to what tempature?
 
Heated room? What's the water temp right now? I've struggled for the past week trying to lower my temp in my tank.

Sorry, that's a bit off topic, but I just wanted to be sure before you try to breed that the conditions in the tank are appropriate.
 
Well the water is almost 68 now, but im moving anyways and i will accomodate any tempature required..
 
The main stimuli I've found for breeding them has been temperatures. I had the tank at 50-55 degrees for 3-4 weeks before the female started laying eggs.

Very complex answer, huh?

oh, so i shouldnt get it down to the 50's then bring it back up, she'll lay eggs in those tempatures?
 
you could try bringing it up to 60 or so. the raise in temperature could have triggered laying. I wasn't expecting them to breed, so I didn't pay much attention to exact temps

how many eggs does a female typically lay?
and how deep was your water?

    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.
