Amplexus

This is the first time I've caught my male mating with my female. It was very interesting to watch.

Those are really cool photos. What kind of a Newt is that? Excuse the ignorance..... I just started as an amphibian Mummy last week!!

@brainlady Those are Notophthalmus viridescens (viridescens?)

Nice pictures, those are very cool newts!

Just be mindful that your male doesn't stress out the female with his constant woo-ing.

I already read a couple articles on that. I haven't seen them do it ever since so I think they'll be okay.

Lucky

I'm currently trying to get mine to mate XD

That's looking good. I thought the amplexus took place closer to the females head.

I caught mine in amplexus around the neck a couple of weeks ago. Backwards. XD

You can't blame them for wanting something different from time to time. Else it gets boring.
