Chinese fire-bellied newt tadpole

Offspring from last summer

If that's your offspring, you better go to the doctors.

Very cool! Were they easy to breed? What are you planning to do with them when the mature? I was thinking of getting myself a couple as I have heard they are pretty easy to keep. Is this true?

I think they're easy enough to keep, and not too expensive either since they don't require heaters or anything. I never did anything specifically to get the offspring [ie. cooling periods etc], but the tadpoles can be time consuming. From last year I only had this one and we will be keeping him most likely.

All being well we might get some more spawn from them this year, one of our females has bulked out a fair bit pretty much over the last couple of nights

He morphed on 31st January and has been named Teddy:
