I kept a pair in an outdoor enclosure , and they bred for me the first year. the pic is of the male carrying the fertile eggs. most of the eggs survived and I raised the tadpoles and rehomed the young. sadly I had to also rehome the adults as the males call could be heard everywhere even sat in the house with the tv on, and it was constant through the breeding season. the enclosure is being re designed to house fire salamanders year round.
Great stuff! Me and Kaz are after some fire salamanders so if you breed them we might have to give you a shout. Would love to see some photos of the outdoor enclosure. Looks like you've been busy posting, are they all in your current collection or photos from the past? either way you've added a great selection.
I work in Hatfield in Doncaster got my Stag from Rosso from Triumph Land. so you're not far away at all. How'd you find the forum?
I have my fingers crossed for young from the terrestris in the spring, the female is looking quite plump so im hoping it isnt just over eating lol. all pics other than the midwife toad are what I presently keep. when I get the enclosure converted for use by the salamanders I will post pics. heres a pic of a small part of the inside of the enclosure when originaly build many years ago with its first inhabitant, a Bufo raddei [img]
